5. Licea capacia Oltra & G. Moreno, in Moreno & Oltra, Bol. Soc. Micol. Madrid 38: 56 (2014) Figs. 5A–I

Sporophores sporocarpic, dispersed or grouped, sessile. Sporocarps elongated, 0.05–0.15 mm length, 0.05 mm wide, 0.05 mm high, reddish brown to yellow brown. Peridium double, smooth, membranous, marked with dehiscence lines to make 4 platelets, two short and two long (Figs. 5 C – D); peridial platelets pale reddish brown by TL, with smooth lighter margins; dehiscence along the upper longitudinal line. Spores pale reddish brown in mass, very pale yellow brown by transmitted light, subglobose to angular 10–11 μm diam., minutely verrucose. By SEM the inner peridium is granular with tiny sparsely distributed warts and the surface is uniform right to the margins of the platelets with no larger ornamentation; the epispore is densely verrucate with different sized warts and the spores appear to be polygonal.

Material examined: Holotypus. SPAIN. Valencia, Onteniente, Pontó de Marín, 30SYH0299, 456 m, on leaves of Agave americana, 22-I-2010, leg. M. Oltra, 12486.Oltra (AH 42711)! .

Habitat: on leaves of succulent plants ( Agave americana) and leaves of scrubs (Pistacea lentiscus).

Distribution: Known only from Spain.

Icon.: Moreno & Oltra (2014: 57, Figs. 1–14).

Notes. The curious almost cuboid sporocarps, are easy to recognize; and give the appearance of an historical doctors medical bag. The species was described as having a single peridium, but as can be seen in the SEM micrograph (Fig. 5 G, arrow) the peridium is double. The occurrence on succulent plants and longitudinal dehiscence bring the species close to L. succulenticola Mosquera, Lado, Estrada & Beltrán-Tej., but it is quite different, since the spores are smaller and subglobose in that species, not angular to polygonal, and dehiscence is into two flat halves by a split, not four platelets.
