Glomus macrocarpum

A semi-hypogeous globose fungus that serves as food for wild rabbits.

Chlamydospores very large, attached to a hyaline hypha before release, with a thick, slightly verrucose wall up to 6 µm wide, yellowish-brown under the microscope, and containing very abundant oil or lipid droplets inside.

Very similar to its congener, Glomus microcarpum, which has chlamydospores only up to 60 µm in diameter.
