Peniophorella guttulifera is a mushroom species from the family of the butterfly relatives (Hymenochaetaceae).

The species is found in large parts of the Holarctic , where it inhabits the temperate climate zone.

features

Macroscopic features

Peniophorella guttulifera has the resupinate (covering the substrate), membranous-waxy fruiting bodies typical of the genus Peniophorella . They are whitish to cream in color. The hymenium is smooth, but under a magnifying glass it shows protruding cystids as bristles .

Microscopic features

Like Peniophorella species, the hyphae structure of Peniophorella guttulifera is monomitic, i.e. it only has generative hyphae . The 3–4  µm wide hyphae are hyaline , thin-walled and heavily branched, the septa always have buckles . The cystidia are broad-cylindrical with an encrusted blunt tip. With 60–80 × 10–20 µm they clearly stand out from the fruit layer. The basidia of the species are approximately club-shaped, have four sterigmata and measure 20–30 × 5–6 µm. They have a buckle at the base . Their spores are roughly sausage-shaped, hyaline and thin-walled. They measure 9–12 × 3–4 µm and are not amyloid .

distribution

The known distribution of the species covers large parts of the Holarctic , it inhabits regions with a temperate climate.

ecology

Peniophorella guttulifera grows on rotten, mostly debarked and fallen dead wood from deciduous trees . The species attacks hazel ( Corylus spp.), Birch ( Betula spp.) And poplar ( Populus spp.).
