Typhula mycophaga sp. nov., occurring on senescent basidiocarps of Lycoperdon pyriforme Pers. in British Columbia, is placed in the subgenus Microtyphula Berthier because of the morphology and the structure of its basidiocarps and its nongelatinized sclerotia which have a normal epidermoid structure. This species is distinguished by its habit, nonamyloid spores, nonclamped hyphae, and papillate superficial hyphae on the stipe.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
