What family is the planet in whose fallen foliage Pestalotiopsis microspora was first identified?
Pestalotiopsis microspora Pestalotiopsis microspora is a species of endophytic fungus capable of breaking down and digesting polyurethane. Originally identified in fallen foliage of common ivy ("Hedera helix") in Buenos Aires, it also causes leaf spot in Hidcote ("Hypericum patulum") shrubs in Japan.
Phaeocollybia Phaeocollybia is a genus of fungi in the family Hymenogastraceae. They are characterized by producing fruit bodies (mushrooms) with umbonate caps and rough brown spores. The genus is widely distributed (especially in temperate regions), and contains about 50 species. They are known for a long stipe which continues down into the ground, known as a "rooting" stipe or pseudorhiza formed as the fruitbody grows up from the subterranean colonized roots well below the organic soil layer. The genus is primarily mycorrhizal but may also be somewhat parasitic on forest trees.
