(29) Radial section showing cell fusions (arrow) and secondary pit connections (arrowheads) in the lower perithallus. Scale bar = 100 μm. (30) Section showing heavily calcified, bullet-shaped hair base or trichocyte (arrowhead) terminating a filament of four cells (arrow) that are significantly larger than other surrounding apical cells (asterisks). Scale bar = 50 μm. (31) Thallus with small, rounded outgrowths on the surface and evidence of multiple hair bases or trichocytes penetrating the epithallus, resulting in small surface pores throughout the thallus surface. Scale bar = 50 μm.
