Hyphodontia lanata

Synonyms:

Macromorphology:

Micromorphology:

Spores:

5.5-6 x 3-4 µm, ellipsoid up to ovoid, thin-walled, smooth, inamyloid, with one droplet each.

Basidia:

20-23 x 4-5 µm suburniform, with 1-2 constrictions and one basal clamp each.

Sterigmata:

Four, 2.5 µm long.

Cystidia:

1. pistill-formed endcells with one basal clamp, capitate extension 6-8 µm in diameter, endcell 15-25 µm long, produced only on basal hyphae.

2. Tubular tramacystidia, up to ca. 300 µm long, 4-5 µm in diameter, thick-walled (up to 1.5 µm), sometimes slightly constricted. They arise from subicular hyphae. The tramacystidia may have primary septa with one clamp each in their apical part. The transition into thick-walled, skelettoid hyphae is obvious.

Hyphae:

Hyphal system monomitic. Subhymenial hyphae thin-walled, 3-5 µm in diameter. Basal hyphae thick-walled (up to 1 µm), 3-5 µm in diameter, densely hyphal running. Hyphal branching by subseptal outgrowing or outgrowing of clamps. If mounted in water all hyphae of the fruit body are strongly incrusted with crystals, which are slowly soluble in 5% KOH solution.

Aculei:

The aculei are built of thick-walled, constricted, tubular tramacystidia. They arise from basal hyphae of the fruit body, where they are built by outgrowing of clamps or by subseptal outgrowing. At the tops of the aculei also primary septa may be found. Tramacystidia are also often present in the hymenium.
