Popis: on the basis of a number of collections made from the bark surface of living trees. Yamashiro's collecting was concentrated in southern Kyisyf, all of the specimens of B. ainoae coming from the village of Takarabe in Kagosima Prefecture which lies at the southern foot of Mt. Kirisima. This area is located in the subtropical zone of Japan. For many years this species was known only from the type locality until Brooks (1967) noted its occurrence in Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky, and Tennessee, and Kowalski and Curtis (1968) reported it from California. More recently, Keller (1974) reported it as being quite common and abundant in Florida on the bark of living Juniperus silicicola (Small) Bailey. A total of 39 collections of B. ainoae from 10 states indicates that as a corticolous myxomycete it is widespread and quite abundant on living trees. Indeed, wherever red cedars are common and ample rainfall occurs during the months of July, August, and September, B. ainoae can be expected.
