Other black fungi <hysterothecial>


 

The bulk of the fungi in this sub-group produce hysterothecia as fruitbodies. A hysterothecium looks like a pair of black lips, no more than a few millimetres long. An individual hysterothecium is very hard to spot but hysterothecia usually turn up in large colonies. That makes spotting a little easier, but not guaranteed. A colony of a hundred fruitbodies may still occupy no more than a square centimetre or two.

 

One hysterothecial species, Glonium circumserpens, occurs on soil.

I collected the material photographed here and the identification is based on a look at the spores. The material has been lodged as collection HL6788 at the herbarium in Canberra.

In the leftmost of the inset spore images in Photo 2 you see a pale immature spore. The mature spores have a deep colour and each has a swollen cell (alongside the slight, near-central pinched in part of the spore wall), a feature of the genus. Spores in this specimen measured 36-50 x 10-12 microns.

The spores shown in the two inset photos are still within asci.
