Trichia botrytis (J.G. Gmel.) Pers. var. munda A. Lister, Jour. Bot. 35: 216. 1897.
Description：
Fructifications sporangiate, scattered, 0.58-0.71 mm in total height. Sporangia stipitate, turbinate (obovate), yellowish brown to purplish brown, (0.13-) 0.19-0.27 mm in diameter. Peridium double, the outer layer brown, with deposited refuse matter, often areolate before dehiscence, the inner layer membranous, yellowish, adhering to the outer layer, appearing as narrow bands on the peridium, dehiscing along the narrow bands. Stalk cylindrical, reddish brown, opaque, translucent under transmitted light, filled with debris matter, ca. 0.05 mm in diameter. Hypothallus membranous, discoid, reddish brown. Elaters bright yellow, with 3-4 smooth spirals, ca. 4-5 μm in diameter, tapering toward ends, the end acuminate, in some acute from an inflation of the thread, and the inflation also observed elsewhere along the length when viewed under SEM. Spores bright yellow in mass, yellow under transmitted light, globose, subglobose to ovate, 9-11 μm in diameter, warted, the warts pin- or mushroom-like. Plasmodium not observed.

The distinct characteristics of our specimens are the spore wall markings, the character of the elater, and the size of the fruiting bodies which are quite different from those of Trichia botrytis.
