Fungal Diversity: 10.1007/s13225-020-00461-7, [70] (2020)
Mycobank: MB#556258

Holotype: CHINA, Sichuan Province, G318, on the ground with mosses, alt. 4215 m, 2018-Aug-17 Ming Zeng, ZM38 (HKAS 104669, holotype)
Apothecia: stipitate, disc 0.2–0.3 cm high, 0.2–0.6 cm broad, orange, hymenium orange, receptacle surface yellow to orange, margin conspicuous, dentate to wavy slightly, stipe 0.2–0.4 cm long, 0.1–0.2 cm broad, cylindrical, yellowish to white
Asci: 360-410 x 17-22 µm, 8-spored, subcylindrical to clavate
Ascospores: ellipsoid, 27-32 x 17-20 µm (Q = 1.46-1.78), broadly ellipsoid, uniseriate, coarsly verrucose, uniguttulate
Host: unknown
Habitat: on the ground with mosses

Note: Unfortunately, the host moss, a very important character in this group, was neglected in the description of this species. However, on one of the images some shoots of Atrichum sp. can be recognized which may be the host of N. gigaspora.
