Two Inoperculate Discomycetes with White Hairs from Taiwan

Abstract

Two inoperculate discomycetes in the genus Lachnum (Hyaloscyphaceae) with white-haired apothecia are newly reported from Taiwan. These two species are L. albidulum and L. virgineum which occurred either on leaves of broadleaf trees, stem of herbaceous plants or decayed wood. The microscopic characteristics and habitats are described and discussed in detail in order to distinguish them from each other for their morphological similarity.
