features
Macroscopic features
Hyphoderma litschaueri has resupinate, membranous-waxy fruiting bodies typical of the genus Hyphoderma . They are whitish to cream in color. Your hymenium is smooth under the naked eye, but shows pores under a magnifying glass.
Microscopic features
As with all Hyphoderma species, the hyphae structure of Hyphoderma litschaueri is monomitic , i.e. it only shows generative hyphae . The 3–4 µm wide hyphae are hyaline , thick or thin-walled and heavily branched, the septa always have buckles . The cystids are cylindrical to pearl-shaped. They are not encrusted and are around 60–100 × 6–8 µm in size. The basidia of the species are club-shaped to approximately urn-shaped, have four sterigmata and measure 25–30 × 5–6 µm. They have a buckle at the base . Their spores are sub-cylindrical and slightly curved, hyaline and thin-walled. They measure 9–12 × 3–4 µm and always have an extension ( apiculus ).
distribution
The known distribution of the species covers large parts of the Holarctic , but it is considered rare or not very common everywhere.
ecology
Hyphoderma litschaueri grows on rotten dead wood from deciduous trees . Typical substrates include apples ( Malus spp.), Chestnuts ( Castanea spp.) And alders ( Alnus spp.).
