Physical Description

Genus Macbrideola:

Sporocarps small, stipitate, globose to ovate. Stalk translucent, hollow (trapped air is often seen in liquid mounts). Columella usually present. Peridium fugaceous or persistent. Capillitium present or absent.

Species Macbrideola dubia:

Sporocarps gregareous on a common hypothallus, up to 1 mm tall. Stalk c. 33% of the total height, black by reflected, red-brown by TL, hollow, wall thin, longitudinally striate and dark above, paler and rather vaguely netted below. Sporotheca globose or slightly prolate, dark brown. Peridium totally evanescent. Columella reaching c. the centre of the sporotheca, splitting at the apex into the 2-4 main branches. Capillitium lax, attenuate to the periphery, arising from branches at the columella apex, a few branches also from its side, brown, with small brown expansions, flexuose, with small, dark protuberances, forming 1-2 meshes on the radius, closed on the periphery, with a few short branchlets outwards. Spores pale purplish brown with a slightly paler area, 9-10.5 µm diam., densely verruculose. This sp. is very similar to robust forms of M. oblonga and may be synonymous with that sp.
