C75E51AD3BD20ED8E726A87409EA6F33.taxon	description	Description. Basidiomata inside the hymenium of the host, resulting in blackish swellings of the host apothecia; context hyphae difficult to observe, 2.5 - 3.5 mm thick, thin walled, with clamp connections; haustorial branches not observed. Hymenium hyaline, containing numerous probasidia, intermixed with the hymenium of the host; probasidial initials clavate, proliferations occurring through the basal clamp; hyphidia and cystidia absent. Basidia, when mature, narrowly ellipsoid to subcylindrical, with one transverse septum (never oblique or longitudinal), slightly constricted at the septum, the lower cell elongate, with an attenuated stalk-like base, (14 -) 17 - 44 x 7 - 12 (- 13) mm (incl. stalk); epibasidia 3 - 3.5 mm thick, up to 65 mm long. Basidiospores subglobose, with a large apiculus, 7.5 - 9.5 x 6 - 8.5 mm. Anamorph: conidial chains sometimes present in the hymenium. Individual conidia 3 - 5 x 3 - 5 mm.	en	Millanes, Ana M., Diederich, Paul, Westberg, Martin, Knutsson, Tommy, Wedin, Mats (2014): Tremellarhizocarpicola sp. nov. and other interesting lichenicolous Tremellales and Filobasidiales in the Nordic countries.

C75E51AD3BD20ED8E726A87409EA6F33.taxon	discussion	Discussion. The species was tentatively described by Diederich (1996: 170) as Tremella sp. 3. The single specimen known at that time was very small, but the discovery of 12 additional collections from Denmark, Sweden and Norway (Fig. 1 A) is now enough for a formal description. There is little to add to the description and illustrations given by Diederich (1996), however. The only novelties are the wider range of basidium width and length (Fig. 1 G) and the presence, occasionally, of an anamorph consisting of catenulate conidia. A sequence of the ITS barcode region is not provided, since recently collected specimens were too reduced for DNA extraction, and old specimens could not be amplified by PCR. Diederich (1996) indicated that this species was microscopically very similar to Tremella protoparmeliae, but Tremella rhizocarpicola could be distinguished by the formation of dark brown swellings on the host apothecia and by small differences in the size of the basidia. The additional specimens studied here show that there is an anamorph formed by catenulate conidia in Tremella rhizocarpicola, and the basidia of this species can be comparatively shorter and wider than those of Tremella protoparmeliae.	en	Millanes, Ana M., Diederich, Paul, Westberg, Martin, Knutsson, Tommy, Wedin, Mats (2014): Tremellarhizocarpicola sp. nov. and other interesting lichenicolous Tremellales and Filobasidiales in the Nordic countries.
