Diagnosis Pachyphlodes pfisteri can be distinguished from other species by a combination of the solid yellow gleba, cylindrical excipular warts, brown peridium, inordinate (randomly arranged) asci with a short pedicel embedded within interwoven hyphae of the gleba, asci that typically have eight spores irregularly biseriate to disordered, lack of distinguishable paraphyses, and globose yellowish spores with short, capitate spines that coalesce at the tips to nearly cover the entire spore. Spores excluding ornaments range from 13 – 15 (16) µm with an average of 14.7 µm.
