Abstract

Galiella is one of the genera of the dark-colored apothecial Sarcosomataceae, tribe Galielleae, with cyanophilous spore markings. Ultrastructural studies show that spore wall development of Galiella rufa is similar to the subgenus Discina of Gyromitra in Helvellaceae and to the other Sarcosomataceae, especially Plectania nannfeldtii, which both have fine secondary wall spore ornaments. The multinucleate ascospores found in G. rufa may show relationship to the Morchellaceae and the Helvellaceae. Keywords: ascospore ontogeny, Galiella, Sarcosomataceae, ultrastructure.
