Botryobasidium subbotryosum is a mushroom species from the family of grape basidia relatives (Botryobasidiaceae). It forms resupinate, cobweb-like fruit bodies thatgrowon the dead wood of deciduous and coniferous trees. The distribution area of Botryobasidium subbotryosum includes the Indian subcontinent. No anamorph of the species is known.
features
Macroscopic features
Botryobasidium subbotryosum has dark cream-colored to light yellow, spider-like fruiting bodies, which 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 subbotryosum is monomitic , i.e. it consists only of generative hyphae that branch out at right angles. The basal hyphae are yellowish, mostly 7–10 µm wide, slightly thick-walled and not encrusted. The 5–7 µm thick subhymenial hyphae are hyaline and thin-walled. The species does not have cystids or buckles . The rarely four-, mostly six-pore basidia of the species grow in nests, are 9–16 × 7–9 µm in size and are short-cylindrical. The spores are wide, boat-shaped and mostly 9-10 × 3.5-5 µm in size. They are smooth, thin-walled, and hyaline.
distribution
The known distribution of Botryobasidium subbotryosum includes the Indian subcontinent .
