Multiclavula ichthyiformis

Ciri dan struktur

The thallus of M. ichthyiformis forms a thin, greenish film—rarely more than 5 cm across—composed of densely packed cells of the unicellular green algal genus Coccomyxa. Each alga is ensheathed by a single hyphal layer, creating microscopic bulbils that also appear on the stipe and lamina. cells are broadly ellipsoid (7–9 × 4–7 μm) and frequently divide by autospory. Fungal hyphae within the thallus are hyaline, thin-walled, and sparsely branched. Basidiocarps occur singly on the soil surface. The stipe, 2–5 mm tall and up to 0.7 mm thick, is flesh-coloured when moist and turns translucent white on drying; its surface is lined with pointed scales 0.1–0.4 mm long that incorporate algal cells. Above the stipe the lamina abruptly widens to 0.9–1.9 mm, forming a flat, blade 0.6–4 mm high. The sterile upper face carries a thin gelatinised overlain by orange-brown crystalline aggregates, which impart an ochraceous hue in the dry state, whereas the lower face bears the hymenium. Basidia (spore-bearing cells) are somewhat urn-shaped () (25–35 × 7–10 μm) and usually six-spored; basidiospores are smooth, thin-walled, spherical, and hyaline. Hyphae in the context are tightly parallel and agglutinated, measuring 3–4 μm wide in the lamina and 1.5–2 μm in the scales and outer stipe.

Habitat dan peran ekologis

Multiclavula ichthyiformis is known only from its type locality, a disturbed peat bog in upper montane rainforest just below the páramo zone on the Pacific slope of the Cordillera de Talamanca. It grows on persistently moist, acid soil along a small brook and on a roadside bank, typically among bryophyte cushions. Associated ground-dwelling lichens include Cladia aggregata, Cladonia confusa, Dictyonema glabratum, Icmadophila aversa, Phyllobaeis imbricata, and Siphula ceratites. The habitat—a remnant of high-elevation bogs scattered along the Inter-American crest—is considered ecologically sensitive owing to ongoing land-use pressures and climatic change.
