Specimen notes
Public Note:
deliquesced. White marble-like veins visible inside remaining 'shell' indicating this perhaps had Protubera-like sutures. Outside with some areas thin, translucent, and brealing through. Inside trama dries grey colour, hard. Peter J saw photo and thought hysterangiales (Protubera). Spores pale yellow, clindrical, smooth. Spores length=4.8–5.5µm (µ=5.1, σ=0.3), width=1.9–2.7µm (µ=2.3, σ=0.3), Q=2.0–2.6µm (µ=2.2, σ=0.2), n=10. Why not simply egg of Ileodictyon? No, ITS says close to Phallogaster saccatus and by implication with LSU data then Trappea. Trappea differentiated on the basis of a layer of locules beneath the peridium - which is not clear in any of the images I have seen. This material does not have them, but does have the sutures of a Protubera. Perhaps this is Lloyd's missing P. globosus?! Is this really P. hautensis. Unfortunately there is little (or none) representation of Protubera with ITS sequences and this doesn't have LSU
