Botryobasidium lembosporum is a mushroom species from the family of grape basidia relatives (Botryobasidiaceae). It forms resupinate, cobweb-like fruiting bodies that usuallygrowon bed covers. The distribution area of Botryobasidium lembosporum includes a neotropical area. One anamorph of the species is known as Haplotrichum tomentosum .
features
Macroscopic features
Botryobasidium lembosporum has white, spinel-like and thin fruiting bodies that grow resupinate (i.e. completely adjacent) on their substrate and appear slightly reticulate under the magnifying glass.
Microscopic features
As with all grape basidia , the hyphae structure of Botryobasidium lembosporum is monomitic, i.e. it consists exclusively of generative hyphae that branch out at right angles. The basal hyphae are usually 6–10 µm wide, hyaline , thick-walled and not encrusted. The 4–7 µm thick subhymenial hyphae are hyaline and thin-walled. Like almost all grape basidia, the species does not have cystids or buckles . The six- to eight-pore basidia of the species grow in nests, are 9–12 × 7–9 µm in size and have short cylinders. The spores are narrow, boat-like, 7.5–10 × 4–6 µm in size, hyaline, smooth and thin-walled.
distribution
The known distribution area of Botryobasidium lembosporum includes the tops of the New World from Argentina to Cuba .
ecology
Botryobasidium lembosporum is a saprobiont that grows on the wood and bark of flowering seeds , more rarely conifers . Well-known substrates include Bambusa vulgaris or pines ( Pinus spp.).
