Fungi -- Identification
92(91) Spores 28-32 × 16-21µm, appendage 12-15 × 3-3.8µm.
_Anopodium epile_
- Spores 30-37 × 16-20µm, appendage 24-27 × 5µm.
_'Podospora' dagobertii_ (fig. 28)
(The combination in _Anopodium_ has not been made; see
Lundqvist, 1964, 1972)
93(88) Spores flattened, disc shaped, with a germ slit around
the edge. Perithecial neck with short (up to 120µm)
setae. (_Coniochaeta_, figs 30, 31) 94
- Spores ellipsoid. Perithecial neck without setae or with
very prominent (up to 950µm) tufts of agglutinated hairs. 99
94(93) Asci with numerous (64-128) spores. 95
- Asci 8-spored. 96
95(94) Spores 6-10 × 5-9 × 4-7µm. Perithecial setae up to 120µm
long. _Coniochaeta hansenii_ (fig. 30)
- Spores 13-16 × 9.5-13.5 × 5.5-8µm. Perithecial setae
up to 35µm long. _Coniochaeta_ sp.
96(94) Spores 7-9 × 6-8 × 5-6µm, slightly flattened.
_Coniochaeta leucoplaca_
- Spores larger. 97
97(96) Spores narrowly elliptical in face view (length more than
2 × width), ca 13-18 × 6-9 × 4-6µm.
_Coniochaeta saccardoi_
- Spores broadly elliptical to nearly circular in face
view (length less than 2 × width). 98
98(97) Spores (9)10-16(20) × 7.5-10(15) × (4)5-8µm. Neck setae
20-50µm long. _Coniochaeta ligniaria_ (figs 30, 31)
- Spores (16)17-23 × (10)13-19 × 7.5-10(15)µm. Neck setae
40-80µm long. _Coniochaeta scatigena_ (figs 30, 31)
99(93) Perithecial neck with prominent agglutinated tufts of
rigid setae up to 950µm long. Spores 43-54 × 20-29µm,
with apical germ pore. A gelatinous sheath which surrounds
the whole spore swells in water, and appears fringed at
the margin and radially striate. _Arnium macrothecium_
- Perithecial neck without setae. Gelatinous sheaths may be
clearly visible around spores, but are not complex in
structure. 100
