status

 

Asterocapsa aerophytica Lederer (2000: 24) ( Figs. 4B–4D View FIGURES 4 ).

Round to elongated colonies, rarely irregular, 13.9–154.1 µm diam., isolated or in groups. Sheath firm, hyaline to reddish brown, conspicuous, rarely lamellate, granulated. Cells spherical to ellipsoid, 4.3–5.4 µm diam. Spores dark reddish brown, solitary or in groups after releasing, 5.6–6.3 µm diam. Cell content granulated, green to blue-green.

Habitat: —Dry wood.

Notes: —This species was found within a black mass growing on wood and epiphytic on Scytonema filaments, similar to the original habitat described by Lederer (2000).
