“…The morphology of the thallus and the ascocarp for each specimen collected was observed under a stereomicroscope with a magnification of 40x. Free-hand thin sections of the ascocarp, thalli, and other structures were done to examine the ascus, crystal, epihymenium, hymenium, spore, subhymenium, and thallus (n=5) (Fajardo & Bawingan, 2019;Joshi, Upreti, Divakar, Lumbsch & Lücking, 2018). Measurements of all anatomical parts were done in water mounts.…”
