Paurocotylis pila

Ciri dan struktur

This truffle-like fungus produces a spherical to tuber-shaped fruit body (ascoma) with a smooth surface, which can be lobed or wrinkled. Paurocotylis pila's fruiting body is ball shaped, with a thin, matte red-orange outer rind and has no stalk. Often the rind is creased, but occasionally is smooth. Varying in size, it ranges from 10-30mm across, and is found half buried in soil, or under leaf litter. The fruit body is made of yellow-brown tissue, with multiple hollow chambers. Inside the chambers, the asci break up to leave round, cream or yellow ascospores. Once collected and dried, the rind's colour changes to a dull red-brown. P. pila fruit bodies usually range from 10–40 mm in diameter, although some in the UK are up to 60 mm. The fruit body does not have a stipe. There is no odour noted and it is regarded as non-edible.

Habitat dan peran ekologis

DNA barcode (internal transcribed spacer) sequences in the National Center for Biotechnology Information database indicate a distribution in New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom. This species is native to New Zealand, however, it has been introduced to England. In England, it has spread to Nottingham, Yorkshire, Sheffield, and more. Paurocotylis pila is also native to Tasmania, and has been found in Australia. Paurocotylis pila is found all across New Zealand; often appearing in forests under podocarp trees such as totara. However, it also occurs in gardens, forest tracks, and parks. This species is found in leaf litter and soil in forests, parks and gardens. Paurocotylis pila prefers disturbed forests, and is often found in soil near tracks. In England, it has been found fruiting in garden soil. Experts have suggested that some members of this genus and related genera of fungi may change between being saprobic and endophytic throughout its life. This is unlikely for this species since it is found under various tree species.
