Botryobasidium tubulicystidium 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 tubulicystidium is on Taiwan . No anamorph of the species is known.
features
Macroscopic features
Botryobasidium tubulicystidium has whitish to yellowish-gray, spinel-like 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 tubulicystidium is monomitic , i.e. it consists only of generative hyphae that branch out at right angles. The basal hyphae are yellowish, 9 µm wide, slightly thick-walled and not encrusted. The 5–9 µm thick subhymenial hyphae are hyaline , thin-walled and cyanophilic. Unlike many other species of the genus, the species has 60–110 × 6–9 µm large, cylindrical and thin-walled cystids . There are no buckles . The six-pore basidia of the species grow in nests, are 15–18 × 6–8 µm in size and are approximately urn-shaped. The spores are boat-shaped and mostly 7.5–8.5 × 3–4 µm in size. They are smooth, hyaline, and thin-walled.
distribution
The known distribution of Botryobasidium tubulicystidium only includes Taiwan .
ecology
Botryobasidium tubulicystidium is a saprobiont that colonizes dead wood . The substrates of the species have not yet been identified.
