464F43674B34FFAEFF28838053A7FAAE.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: The species is similar to L. epidendrum in the sporocarp shapes, but differs in the peridial vesicles, densely and evenly distributed, solitary, rounded, and yellowish-brown.	en	Yang, Xin-Ya, Wang, Sai-Yu, Dai, Dan, Zhao, Hui-Nan, Wang, Yang, Li, Xue-Fei, Zhang, Bo, Li, Yu (2023): A new species of Lycogala, and a new record of Lindbladia from China.

464F43674B34FFAEFF28838053A7FAAE.taxon	etymology	Etymology: The epithet “ heterospora ”, refers to the different sizes of spores.	en	Yang, Xin-Ya, Wang, Sai-Yu, Dai, Dan, Zhao, Hui-Nan, Wang, Yang, Li, Xue-Fei, Zhang, Bo, Li, Yu (2023): A new species of Lycogala, and a new record of Lindbladia from China.

464F43674B34FFAEFF28838053A7FAAE.taxon	description	Description: Sporocarps solitary or in small loose groups, spherical to short horizontally ovoid, regular in shape, 3.5 – 5.5 mm diam. Peridium membranous, greyish-orange, brownish-orange, covered by vesicles. Peridial vesicles 50 – 200 μm, in stereomicroscope, look like dried droplets, yellowish-brown, mainly solitary, densely and evenly distributed, distant from each other on ½ – 1 their diameter, in light microscope solitary, ovoid, light brown. Vesicle walls almost hyaline. Oil droplets absent. Capillitium tubular, 6 – 15 μm diam, with wavy contours, ornamented by regular bracelet-like thickenings. Spores mass yellowish-gray. Spores vary in size, smaller spores (4.5 –) 5.0 – 6.0 (– 6.5) μm, larger spores (7 –) 8.0 – 10.0 (– 14) μm in diameter, hyaline to pale yellow, marked with a faint reticulation of warts. Immature fructifications unknown. Habitat and distribution: On the surface of the bark of a dead wood, currently known only from the type locality, Shuanghe National Natural Reserve in Heilongjiang Province, China. Notes: The new species L. heterospora is morphologically similar to L. epidendrum. They have similar sizes and shapes of sporocarps. The peridium is covered with yellowish-brown simple vesicles and it distinguishes this species from the similar L. epidendrum and L. irregulare. The most important characteristic of this species is the spores of varying sizes, smaller spores (4.5 –) 5.0 – 6.0 (– 6.5) μm, larger in diameter (7 –) 8.0 – 10.0 (– 14) μm. For species of the genus Lycogala, spore size is generally in the range of (4.7 –) 5.5 – 6.3 (– 9.5). The spore size difference in one species is less than 4 μm (TABLE 1).	en	Yang, Xin-Ya, Wang, Sai-Yu, Dai, Dan, Zhao, Hui-Nan, Wang, Yang, Li, Xue-Fei, Zhang, Bo, Li, Yu (2023): A new species of Lycogala, and a new record of Lindbladia from China.
