Globuliciopsis fuegiana

Globuliciopsis fuegiana Hjortstam & Ryvarden 2004, in Hjortstam & Ryvarden, Synopsis Fungorum, 18, 20-32 (2004)

Diagnosis: Basidiome resupinate, 0.2–0.7 mm thick, closely adnate, slightly stratified, pale brown, hymenophore smooth, subiculum compact, brownish.

Hyphal system monomitic; subicular hyphae thin or moderately thick-walled, short-celled, about 3 μm wide, other hyphae thin-walled, straight, 2–3 μm wide, all hyphae hyaline and without clamp connections.

Cystidia absent, but with hyphal ends, 2–3 μm wide, with almost parallel walls, sometimes slighty curved, hyaline, arising from subhymenium or from the subiculum, projecting above the basidia, lacking or rarely with single septum.

Dendrohyphidia rare to sometimes abundant in the subhymenium and may also occur in the subiculum.

Basidia terminal arranged in a relatively loose palisade, up to 100 μm long and 10–12 μm wide in the upper part when fully developed, with two or sometimes three to four sterigmata.

Basidiospores almost globose, (10–)13–15 x 11–14 μm or 12–14 μm diam, smooth, hyaline, with a slight wall thickening, lightly cyanophilous, no reaction in Meltzer’s reagent.

Substrate. On dead hardwood.

Index Fungorum Number: IF371211
