Uncobasidium luteolum

Uncobasidium luteolum is a species of crust fungus in the family Meruliaceae, and the type species of genus Uncobasidium. The holotype was collected in Øvre Dividal National Park, in MÃ¥lselv Municipality (Norway), where it was growing on Salix. The fungus has a monomitic hyphal system, with individual hyphae measuring 2.5–4 ÃŽÂ¼m and having a clamp connection and oily refractive contents. The basidia are four-sterigmate, measure 30–50 by 8 ÃŽÂ¼m, and feature a hook-shaped protuberance. Its spores are ellipsoid to in shape, measuring 9 by 6 ÃŽÂ¼m. Uncobasidium roseocremeum, found in South America, differs microscopically from U. luteolum in its larger, spherical spores, and the presence of encrusted hyphidia.
