Lachnellula hahniana (Seaver) Dennis 1962

Description

Type: Corticolous Fungi; Description: Ascomata apothecial, scattered, superficial, stalked, covered with long white hairs, disc orange, up to 3 mm in diameter; on bark. Asci cylindric-clavate, 100–150 × 8–10 μm. Ascospores elliptic oblong, 0-septate, 14–20 × 6–8 μm, smooth, hyaline.

Distribution

Distribution: Bay of Plenty, Taupo, North Canterbury, Southland.; 1st Record: Gadgil & Dick (2000a).

Notes

Pathogenicity

Significance: Dennis (1978) regarded this species as a harmless saprobe. Oguchi (1981), in pathogenicity trials, found that L. hahniana produced small numbers of apothecia around inoculated portions of Larix stems. It has only been found on dead bark in New Zealand and is not regarded as a pathogen.; Host(s): Larix sp., Pinus radiata, Pinus sp.
