The teliospores are formed on the branches of fertile hyphae and germinating directly to form
They are produced subterminally, beaked, promycelium consisting of a long germinal tube with terminal branches bearing apical sporida.[2]
The ramified basidiospores of Rhamphospora nymphaeae have enlarged surfaces, which could be used for dispersal in water.[13]
Distribution
It has a widespread distribution,[14][15] in north temperate and neotropic zones.[8][5] Including places such as (in North America); Canada (in the Provinces of British Columbia, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Ontario and Québec), USA (in the states of Connecticut, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma and Wisconsin).[14] In Central America, within Costa Rica,[6] and Cuba.
