Fig. 1 Celosporium laricicola (UAMH 11008, re-drawn from Tsuneda et al. 2010). a Early stages of cellular clump formation by meristematic growth of hyphal cells (arrow heads). b Free cells giving rise to blastic conidia (arrowheads). Scale bars = 10 μm.
Importance and distribution
Celosporium comprises only one species isolated from a twig of Larix lyallii (Pinaceae) in Canada (Alberta). It is an endoconidial, black meristematic fungus that can survive a high amount of radiation and is resistant to dehydration (Gostinčar et al. 2022).
