Botryobasidium sublaeve is a mushroom species from the family of grape basidia relatives (Botryobasidiaceae). It forms resupinate, cobweb-like fruiting bodies thatgrowon dead wood . The distribution area of Botryobasidium sublaeve is on Taiwan . No anamorph of the species is known.
features
Macroscopic features
Botryobasidium sublaeve has white, spider-like fruit bodies that grow resupinate (i.e. completely adjacent) on their substrate and appear slightly reticulated under the magnifying glass.
Microscopic features
As with all grape basidia , the hyphae structure of Botryobasidium sublaeve is monomitic , i.e. it consists only of generative hyphae that branch out at right angles. The basal hyphae are hyaline , 5–8 µm wide, thin to slightly thick-walled and not encrusted. The 5–8 µm thick subhymenial hyphae are hyaline, thin-walled and cyanophilic. Like many other species of the genus, the species has neither cystides nor buckles . The six-pore basidia of the species grow in nests, are 20–21 × 7–8 µm in size and are long-cylindrical in shape. The spores are ellipsoidal to uniform and usually 6–7 × 3–4 µm in size. They are smooth, hyaline, and thin-walled.
distribution
The known distribution of Botryobasidium sublaeve only includes Taiwan .
ecology
Botryobasidium sublaeve is a saprobiont that colonizes rotten dead wood . The substrates of the species have not yet been determined, it was found in mixed stands of the Taiwanese ( Taiwania cryptomerioides ), the sickle fir ( Cryptomeria japonica ) and various species of the hemlock ( Tsuga spp.).
