= Sclerocystis cunninghmia Hu, Quart. J. Chinese For. 21:45-72. 1988.
Description：
Sporocarps globose to subglobose, 300-600 × 370-680 μm, brown to dark brown, consisting of chlamydospores formed radially within the "paraphysis-like" structures. "Paraphysis-like" structures cylindrical, clavate to spathulate, yellow brown to dark brown, thick-walled, up to 200 μm long, protruding from the central plexus of hyphae or from the spore base. The apices of "paraphysis-like" structures tightly packed, forming a peridium enclosing the whole sporocarp. Chlamydospores cylindro-clavate to obvoid, (27.5-) 40-65 (-75) × (50-) 72.5-132.5 μm, brown to reddish brown, sometimes with a septum at the spore base. Chlamydospore walls brown to reddish brown, 7.5-25 μm thick at their apices, 6-10 μm thick at the base, and 2-5 μm thick at the sides. Sometimes, hyaline, thick-walled (up to 6 μm thick) structures with a membraneous outer coat are present within the chalmydospores

Note：
Sclerocystis liquidambaris produces two sizes of chlamydospores similar to those of S. clavispora (Fig. 19A). Spore size falls into two major categories, one 6000-7000 μm2and the other 2000-3000 μm2. Sclerocystis liquidambaris differs from S. clavispora mainly by its "paraphysis-like" structures which protrude out of sporal layer and form a "pseudoperidium". This species was also found in Korea (Koo et al., 1992; Eom et al., 1992).
