Holotype
TNS-F-17835, Sugadaira Montane Research Center, Ueda City, Nagano Pref., 17 September 2005, on decaying culm of Miscanthus sinensis, ex-holotype culture NBRC 115566.
Description
Apothecia developed from scuta. Scuta superficial, scattered to gregarious, flat discoid, 145–180 µm diam., dark brown (C80M100Y80K60), textura epidermoidea, gradually becoming textura porrecta and connecting to subiculum. Apothecia sessile, globose to pulvinate when immature, discoid to saucer-shape when mature, flat to slightly convex when fresh, 0.2 mm high, with brown (C30–60M60Y80–100K60) receptacle; disc 0.5–1.5 mm diam., entire to slightly undulate, without hairs at margin, waxy, white to pale yellow (Y10–30) when fresh, shrunk to 0.3–1 mm diam., pulverulent, cream (Y20–40K10) when dried. Ectal excipulum 25–35 µm thick at base, approximately 25 µm thick at the upper flank to margin, textura globulosa and angularis, composed of 2–4 layers of brown thick-walled cells, not gelatinized, without crystals or exudates; cortical cells in middle to lower flank pyriform to clavate, with protruded cells, 16–21(–23) × 5–7 µm, containing with refractive vacuoles at margin when mounted fresh in water; anchoring hyphae connecting the cortical calls of the flank and subiculum, radially extending from apothecium, 2.5–3 µm width, thin-walled, brown. Medullary excipulum 40–75 µm thick, textura intricata to prismatica, hyaline, composed of loosely interwoven thin-walled hyphae which is frequently dichotomously branching. Asci (77–)79–85(–90) × 12.5–15(–17.5) µm, cylindrical-clavate to saccate, 8-spored, arising from croziers, containing hyaline oil globules in cytoplasm that disappear when mature, with a thick-walled conical apex; apex MLZ+ with or without 3% KOH pretreatment. Ascospores (32–)37–47(–57.5) × 4.5–5.5 µm, long fusiform, with acute extremes, curved to sigmoid, occasionally constricted, thin-walled, often 5-septate, hyaline, containing large or abundant minute guttles. Paraphyses (70–)83–105(–115) × 2.5–3(–4) µm, simple, occasionally branching at base, cylindrical, often becoming slightly wider toward the apex, 2–3-septate, thin-walled, hyaline, (2–)3-septate, containing long refractive vacuoles when mounted fresh in water. Subiculum thinly developed the surface of substrates in patches, sparse to especially abundant around the mature apothecia, shiny brown; subicular hyphae straight to curved, usually swelling in a globose, 3–5 µm diam. with 0.5–1 µm thick-walls, septate every 15–30 µm, perpendicularly branched. Colony of NBRC 115566 on PDA, flat to slightly convex with aerial hyphae, cottony, grayish orange (C0–20M60Y60K10) from the surface, appearing cinnamon (C20–40M80Y100K30) from reverse side, with apricot (M20–40Y60) soluble pigment uniformly diffuse in agar; aerial mycelium dense, white to pale yellow (Y10–20); crystals aggregating plate-like or small clusters, acicular, moderately abundant on colony surface and surrounding agar, 0.1–0.5 mm across, pale yellow. Conidiophores macronematous to mononematous, arising from subicular hyphae, straight, pale to dark brown, thick-walled, smooth, 2–3 µm width; phialides ampulliform, up to 15 µm long, 2.5–4 µm width, integrated, arranged penicillately, pale brown, thick-walled, with cylindrical to wide funnel-shape collarettes of 3.5–5 × 2–3 µm; conidia aseptate, spherical to subspherical, 2–2.5 µm diam., hyaline, thin-walled.

Notes
Trichobelonium miscanthi occurs with Neobelonopsis cinnabarina as they share the same host, Mollisia sinensis, and fruiting season (autumn). Brown phialides (Fig. 12E) and spherical conidia, regarded as asexual stage of T. miscanthi, were observed to accompany subiculum, but we could not induce conidial reproduction under culture.
From the reverse of the two months old colony of T. miscanthi on CMA, clumps of dark cells strongly attached to the bottom of the Petri dish (Fig. 12U) were observed. The clumps are composed of swollen cells with melanized ring. The swollen cell is usually obovoid to pyriform, sometimes lobed or hyphoid, 10–15 × 6–10 µm, arising vertically from hyphae, thick-walled, and containing abundant guttles (Figs 12V–X, 14I). The brown ring structure has an outer diameter of 8–10 µm and inner diameter of 2–3 µm, and is formed at the cell and Petri dish interface. Very similar hyphal structures were reported by Aebi (1972)[1] in the culture of T. kneiffii, but its function is unknown. The clumps of dark cells of Phialocephala bamuru P.T.W. Wong & C. Dong, known as plant pathogen, are interpreted as appressoria with infected pegs (Wong et al. 2015[2]). Although this structure may be appressorium, direct observation of the mycelium of T. miscanthi on the host epidermis and inoculation experiments are needed to clarify whether the clamps of T. miscanthi function as an appressorium during the infection process. Trichobelonium miscanthi resembles T. albobarbatum in remarkable oil globules in immature asci, anchoring hyphae, and saccate form of asci. Although T. miscanthi lacks crystals in the excipulum, the culture produced abundant acicular crystals on PDA (Fig. 12R, S, T).
