Wilcoxina gregaria

Growing on mud and debris under Picea above a small water stream.

Spores fusiform, with minute warts and many guttules:

(23.1) 24 - 26.4 (27.6) × (11.9) 12.3 - 13.4 (14.1) µm
Q = 1.9 - 2.07 (2.1) ; N = 10
Me = 25.1 × 12.8 µm ; Qe = 2

Marginal hair around:

(189) 215.9 - 305.4 (334.6) µm
N = 30 ; Me = 265.7 µm

Appears to be first record for ROI.
