Observaciones de maricel-patino

On old gall from Laurobasidium lauri. The cups form a white crown ~.25 mm and the hymenium is deep down in the flesh of the gall. Spores super long and multiply segmented. Paraphyses are a bit longer than asci and have simple to odd shaped tips.

Super thin crust of arachnoid aspect; invisible when dry. When taken a sample, it came off the wood as a loose textile. Micro shows a very simple hyphal structure with thicker mostly cylindrical basal hyphae and erect hyphae for the basidia. Spores are ornamented. Basidia 6-spored. Unable to see them right because they were collapsed. Simple septa everywhere. On unknown rotten crumbly wet hardwood, inside a wine cellar in an abandoned convent.

Mixed woods: lots of Acacia sp, Eucalyptus globulus and Picea sp. Sandy soil. On a conifer stick. Polypore has cordons made of two types of hyphae: one almost solid that has hyphal ends covered with crystals; the other has thinner walls and clamps; from this one the sub solid hyphae is born. Microscopy was hard. Unable to measure spores because they were too tiny and thin. Unable to spot basidia with sterigmata. Several cystidioles seen, with clamp at base. Lots of hyphal ends on dissepiments/pores are covered with crystals. No particular smell. Pores have a disorganized aspect 5-6 per mm; resupinate polypore is 1.5 mm thick and it seems perennial. White to creamy; with smooth margin and cordons.

On the underneath surface of a Sambucus nigra old rotten barkless stump, still attached to living base. Inside an abandoned convent. Aculei/teeth look like the snack 'Cheetos'. Its subiculum is very thin and of arachnoid aspect. When dry, the teeth seem to be in their own little bases. White when younger, maturing to a cream pastel pink tone.

On Ficus pumila fruit (climbing vine) inside an abandoned convent. The conidiophore is up to 1.5 mm tall. Sporangia is hyaline, turning yellow and finally maturing to a black spore mass that falls apart as it is touched.

Crust of gauzy aspect, growing on a rotten crumbly hardwood log; inside a wine cellar (dark and wet) in an abandoned convent. Crust is very thin and has cordons. At maturity it acquires a creamy tone. It peels off the wood as a veil or a very fine piece of textile. It is sharing the same log with Jackrogersella multiformis. Clamps are present on thin hyphae and lots of pointy/acicular crystals. Basidia very stout. Spores super tiny. The presence of the acicular crystals and small size of spores differentiates this species from T. farinacea and T. stellulata. My spores are smaller because it was hard to measure them so the ornamentation was not considered.

Three units. Brittle. Under hardwoods in shady forest. Examined specimen: cap 1.5 cm; stipe 3.6 cm and continuing on a 1.8 cm mycelium that packed soil around it. Although the soil was a bit moist, it hasn't rain for few weeks now. Caps were light in color. Gills decurrent forming some furrows on upper stipe.

Crust on Laurus nobilis, several decimeters in extent. Shady woods. The textured appearance is given by the presence of an ascomycete Nectria-like scattered and immersed. Gloeocystidia present and variously shaped. Spores are finely ornamented and had a strong reaction to Melzers.
