Overview |
Cultivated on wMY agar (0.02 g malt extract, 0.02 g yeast extract, 0.75 g K2HPO4, and 15 g agar/L distilled water) with pre-grown mixtures of Kitani yeast with Malaya bacterium or of Cryptococcus larentii with Malaya bacterium. Sporocarp 40-250 µm tall with a single spore. Stalk 30-220 µm long, thin, and colorless with an apophysis at the tip. Spores deciduous, 10-18.5 X 13-29 µm in diam., multinucleate, ovate, with a raised annulus at the point of connection to the apophysis. Spores germinate to produce a thin, multinucleate, branching to reticulate plasmodium. Plasmodium divides into irregular multinucleate masses before fruiting. Prespore cells mound up to become round from above or hat-shaped from the side. Cysts are round to irregular.
