Sarea resinae (Fr.) Kuntze 1898

Description

Type: Corticolous Fungi; Description: Ascomata apothecial, scattered, erumpent, without a stalk, cup-shaped, outer wall composed of colourless hyphae, disc convex, pale yellow to pale orange, 0.3–0.5 mm in diameter. Asci clavate, multi-spored, 50–80 × 15–20 1m. Ascospores spherical, 0-septate, 2–3 m in diameter, hyaline.

Distribution

Distribution: Bay of Plenty, Taranaki, Rangitikei, Wanganui, Wairarapa, Dunedin.; 1st Record: Gadgil & Dick (2000a).

Notes

Pathogenicity

Significance: This resinicolous fungus has been shown to cause small cankers on species of Abies, Larix, Picea, and Pinus (Smerlis 1973). In New Zealand, it is often found on resin exuded from small cracks in the host bark but it does not appear to be pathogenic.; Host(s): Pinus radiata, Pseudotsuga menziesii.
