Descriptions and remarks

Diagnosis – (Emended after translation from the original German; after Radtke, 1991, p. 71.) Densely packed, curved to sinuous, vein-like network system that is parallel to the substrate surface. Constriction along the tunnels is sporadic.
Description – Complex network systems having curved to slightly contorted branching filaments that do not intersect. Average diameter of these fi laments is 170 μm and the length of the network systems averages 3·3 mm. At branching nodes slight swellings occur.
