Antrodiella Nanospora
''Antrodiella nanospora'' is a species of crust fungus in the family Steccherinaceae. Found in China, it was species description, described as new to science in 2018 by mycologist Hai-Sheng Yuan. The type (biology), type collection was made in Maoershan Nature Reserve (Xing'an County, Guangxi), where it was found growing on a fallen angiosperm branch. The botanical name, specific epithet ''nanospora'' refers to its small basidiospores, spores, which measure 2.9–3.2 by 1.8–2.1 micrometre, μm. The fungus has a dimitic hyphal system, and its generative hyphae have clamp connections. It is similar in appearance to ''Antrodiella minutispora'', but this species has a thicker and fleshier fruit body, larger pores, and does not have cystidium, cystidioles in the hymenium.

Fungi
A fungus ( : fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, separately from the other eukaryotic kingdoms, which by one traditional classification include Plantae, Animalia, Protozoa, and Chromista. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related organisms, named the ''Eumycota'' (''t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
