Tubifera ferruginosa Complex (Raspberry Slime)


In Tubifera ferruginosa, the sporothecae mostly are cylindrical, are covered with a membranous peridium and filled with banded-reticulate spores.

It is easy to recognize by its prostrate spongy hypothallus, rusty brown spore mass and sparsely occurring columella, which never reaches the apex of a sporotheca.

It is always found growing on wood.
