Botryobasidium microverrucisporum is a mushroom species from the family of grape basidia relatives (Botryobasidiaceae). It forms resupinate, cobweb-like fruiting bodies thatgrowon dead wood of flowering seeds. The distribution area of Botryobasidium microverrucisporum is in Japan . An anamorph of the species is only known from cultures.
features
Macroscopic features
Botryobasidium microverrucisporum has gray to whitish, 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 microverrucisporum is monomitic, i.e. it consists exclusively of generative hyphae that branch out at right angles. The basal hyphae are usually 4–7 µm wide, slightly 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 four-pore basidia of the species grow in nests, are 12–18.5 × 6–8 µm in size and sub-cylindrical. The spores are spherical to approximately spherical in shape, 4.5–5.5 × 4–5 µm in size, hyaline, spiky and slightly thick-walled.
distribution
The known distribution area of Botryobasidium microverrucisporum only includes Japan .
ecology
Botryobasidium microverrucisporum is a saprobiont that grows on the rotten dead wood of Bedecktsamen . Well-known substrates include Quercus serrata , Castanopsis cuspidata and sickle fir ( Cryptomeria japonica ).
