Biology:Sulzbacheromyces
Sulzbacheromyces is a genus of basidiolichens in the family Lepidostromataceae (the only family within the fungal order Lepidostromatales).[1] The genus is distinguished from the other genera of Lepidostromataceae (Ertzia and Lepidostroma) by having an entirely crustose thallus and from Multiclavula (Cantharellales) by having a [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] (instead of [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]]) photobiont.[2] The type species grows on soil in the neotropics.
Description
The genus Sulzbacheromyces is characterised by its simple, crustose thallus which lacks any internal differentiation, having neither [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] nor medullary tissue.[2] This thallus structure distinguishes it from the related basidiolichen genus Lepidostroma, which has a [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] (scaly) thallus.[2]
The reproductive structures (basidiomata) are [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] to caloceroid (club-shaped), unbranched, and typically coloured yellow to orange.[3] The internal structure of the basidiomata consists of parallel, thin-walled, occasionally clamped hyphae that form a densely agglutinated central strand and a loosely organized 'medullary' tissue.[4] The fruiting body cortex is distinctly three-layered, composed of a thin, dense, brownish outer layer, a broader, hyaline (translucent) middle layer with large interspaces, and a thin, dense, pale yellowish inner layer.[4]
The genus forms a symbiotic relationship with green algae ([[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] photobionts). In the type species, S. caatingae, the photobiont belongs to the genus Bracteacoccus, representing the first known occurrence of this typically freshwater algal genus in a lichen symbiosis.[2]
