Botryobasidium musaisporum is a mushroom species from the family of grape basidia relatives (Botryobasidiaceae). It forms resupinate, cobweb-like fruiting bodies that usuallygrowon oaks . The known distribution of Botryobasidium musaisporum includes Taiwan . An anamorph of the species is not yet known.
features
Macroscopic features
Botryobasidium musaisporum has yellowish, loose to spider-like fruit bodies, which grow resupinate (i.e. completely adjacent) on their substrate and appear slightly net-like under the magnifying glass.
Microscopic features
As with all grape basidia , the hyphae structure of Botryobasidium musaisporum is monomitic , i.e. it consists only of generative hyphae that branch out at right angles. The thin to slightly thick-walled basal hyphae are hyaline , 5–9 µm wide and not encrusted. The subhymenial hyphae are hyaline and thin-walled. The species does not have cystids or buckles . The six-pore basidia of the fungus grow in nests, are 15–19 × 8–10 µm in size, are sub-cylindrical to slightly waisted and simply septate at the base. The spores are narrow, boat-shaped to banana-shaped and mostly 9–13 × 2–3 µm in size. They are smooth and thin-walled and have a distinct extension.
distribution
The known distribution of Botryobasidium musaisporum only includes Taiwan , from where the species was described in 2000.
ecology
Botryobasidium musaisporum is a saprobiont that colonizes the wood of oaks ( Quercus spp.). The species has been found in mixed oak forests in climatically moderate mountain areas (~ 2200 m).
