4. Description

original description (Kochansky & Herak, 1960): « The thallus is ramified, in general tube-shaped but irregular. The branches of the thallus are very long (measured to 16 mm. in length). The variation of the diameter is great (D = 1-4.5 mm, d = 0.7-2.2 mm). The wall is usually thin (cca 0.13-0.37 mm). The pores (branches) are mostly simple. Bifurcation is very rare. Their cross section is round; the diameter 0.025-0.046 mm. The pores are separated by very thin interpores, which can be partially resorbed (pl. 1, fig. 5). Owing to recrystalization in many specimens the fine structure of the wall is destroyed. »
