Type description

van Geel 1978: the morphology of several three-septate ascospore types (Types 14, 16A, 16B, 16C, 17 and 104) found in section Engbertsdijksveen I was characteristic enough to separate them from one another, but there remains a group of (different) three-septate ascospores in which few distinctive characters could be detected. They were combined in the aggregate Type 20. In this group are included the Types 15, 20 and 21 previously distinguished in the Wietmarscher Moor III section (Van Geel, 1972). These spores never occur in large numbers. Thirty-nine fruit-bodies containing Type 20 spores varying in diameter from 170 to 300 pm were collected.
