| Note： |
This species is saprophyte on pine pollen, it is difficult to growth on artificial medium.The discharge papillae of mature sporangium filled with a dome-shaped mass of slightly opaque material which projects a short distance outward. These characters are similar to Karling‘s descriptions (Karling, 1968). | |||
