features

Macroscopic features

The Schildbrstlinge all have sessile 1 to 25 mm apothecia , which are bright orange or reddish in color, and have stiff, bristle-shaped hair. The hymenium varies from whitish-ocher to yellow-orange to carmine-red. They have black or brown hair on the edge.

Microscopic features

The spores are round to elliptical and are usually decorated with warty ornaments. For reliable identification, the warts are made visible by staining with lactic acid aniline blue . The asci have at maturity 2, 4, 8, or multiples of 8 ascospores.

Ecology and occurrence

Shield bristles live saprophytically on the ground or on dead plant remains. They are cosmopolitan on all continents from the tropics to the Arctic. In his monograph Schumacher divides the species into four bioclimatic and bioclimatic groups: tropical-equatorial, subtropical, temperate and boreal zones . Schumacher also classifies them according to their substrate: saprophytes on humus, saprophytes on wood (conifers and hardwood) and saprophytes in forests (on various dead organic material). Accordingly, they colonize practically any decomposing organic material provided that the humidity is constant. Suitable habitats are therefore brook banks, shady, damp forests, springs, canals, etc. They fructify more or less all year round, but preferably in summer.

Systematics

Perry and co-workers placed the shield bristle in clade 7 within Pyronemataceae and showed the relationship to Ramsbottomia , Cheilymenia , Kotlabaea and Byssonectria .
