Type description

Gelorini et al 2011: Ascopores globose to ellipsoid, equilaterally one-celled, brown, 14–22×10–17 μm, smooth, thick-walled, mostly covered with a hyaline sheath. This morphotype may be strongly related to Type UG-1073, which has a slit running over the entire spore length (probably as part of the hyaline sheath).
