Trichia scabra Rostafinski (1875: 258)

Material studied:— UNITED KINGDOM. Hertfortshire: Vicecounty 20, leg. anon., s.n., [BM 001247525 = box], as Trichia scabra Rostaf.

This species is characterized by its crowded and sessile sporocarps, elaters with spiral bands with small spines interconnected by longitudinal striations and spores reticulated.

Results of an SEM study carried out by Hatano (1986 plate 23 and 24) of this species with material from Japan, are supported with the observation made on the material from BM, regarding the characteristics of both spore ornamentation and the elaters of the capillitium.
