Specimen notes
Public Note:
looks like formed of very small gelatinous crystals with spines. Not a hetero. Spines (lamprocystidia) are rough walled and metuloid, and dextrinoid (vinaceous), not dissolving in KOH. Spores are subspherical and cyanophilous, inamyloid. Hyphae are thin and spiny encrusted, not clamped. This looks like B&Ks image of subulicium rallum which is described has having leptocystidia (thin walled) but it is pictured with lamprosytidia (thick walled). In Ryvarden it is ppictured with thin-walled cystidia. Close to subulicystidium and bulbillomyces (but spores wrong). Seems to fit with European Subulicium rallum. In NZ Cunningham's Tubulicrinis gladioli seems closest. It has been redisposed as Listschauerella g on basis of having verrucose spores. This material does seem to have very weakly verrucose spores in cotton blue in lactophenol but not melzers or KOH. What is the relationship of this to Subulicium rallum? What is the reaction of subulicium to Melzers? A comparison: Subulicium r - cystidia 100-120um long x 10-13um at base, spores 6-7um diam, basidia 15-25x4.5-6. With smaller gloeocystidia 30-40x5-7um. Litschauerella g - cystidia 100-160x11-21um, cystidioles 11-20x2.5-3.5, spores 5.5-11.5 x 5-20um, basidia 15-25x8-10um. This material setae 100-150x10um, spores 6.2-7.2(6.9) SD0.4 n=7, basidia 22x7.5 average. Cystidioles 2.7-5 diam. Setae are definitely thick-walled.
