features
Macroscopic features
Botryobasidium tuberculisporum has white to yellow-gray, spinel-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 tuberculisporum is monomitic , i.e. it consists only of generative hyphae that branch out at right angles. The basal hyphae are brownish to yellowish, 4–8 µm wide and not encrusted. The 4–8 µm thick subhymenial hyphae are hyaline , thin-walled and cyanophilic. The species does not have cystids or buckles . The four-pore basidia of the species grow in nests, are 20–24 × 7–8 µm in size and are constricted to sub-cylindrical. The spores are ellipsoidal to ovoid and usually 6–7 × 4–4.5 µm in size. They are spiky and slightly thick-walled.
distribution
The known distribution of Botryobasidium tuberculisporum only includes Taiwan .
ecology
Botryobasidium tuberculisporum is a saprobiont that colonizes dead wood . The substrates of the species have not yet been identified.
