Cheilymenia fimicola

Ectal excipulum formed of hyaline, thin-walled hyphae, globose to slightly polygonal, of large dimensions (up to 70 or 80 µm).

Marginal hairs thick-walled, brown, multi-septate and with a branched base (multifid/rooting).

Asci cylindrical, uniseriate and 8-spored, without apparent reaction to Melzer's reagent.

Paraphyses filiform, septate, with orange intracellular pigment, widened at the apex; this pigment darkens noticeably to dark greyish-green in Melzer's reagent.

Ascospores large, smooth, hyaline and without internal vacuolar content.
