Although similar, they were different in terms of morphological features such as rhizoids, stolons, sporangiophores, sporangia, columellae, apophyses, projections, and sporangiospores. A. sphaerica in rhizoids had no spine-like structures, while A. medulla presented them. The maximum width of the stolons of A. sphaerica was wider than those of A. medulla (10.1 µm vs. 6.5 µm). The maximum sporangiophore length of the former was much shorter than that of the latter (171.0 µm vs. 220 µm). In addition, A. sphaerica was smaller than A. medulla in sporangia (6.9–37.0 × 6.6–30.9 μm vs. 12–41 × 11.5–32.5 μm). The columellae in A. sphaerica were slightly shorter than in A. medulla (1.2–20.2 µm vs. 8.5–20.5 µm), accompanied by a longer projection at its top (2.0–7.3 µm vs. 1–4.5 µm). The apophyses of A. sphaerica were not only shorter in height than A. medulla (1.2–7.5 µm vs. 3.0–8.5 µm) but also narrower in top width (3.3–16.31 µm vs. 7.5–17.5 µm). In addition, the septum was closer to apophyses in A. sphaerica than in A. medulla (6.4–18.2 µm vs. 12.5–27.5 µm). The sporangiospores in A. sphaerica are smaller than in A. medulla (2.7–3.6 µm × 1.2–2.2 µm vs. 3.0–4.5 µm × 2.0–3.5 µm).

These two species were sensibly distinguished by the morphology of stolons, rhizoids, sporangiophores, columellae, apophyses, projections, sporangiospores. The maximum width of the stolons of A. viridis were wider than those of A. varians (12.1 µm vs. 8.5 µm). A. viridis was significantly different from A. varians in terms of rhizoid: the former was finger-like and unbranched, while the latter was root-like and multi-branched. The maximum sporangiophores length of A. viridis were shorter than those of A. varians (472.5 µm vs. 480.0 µm). The columellae of A. viridis presented conical shape, but A. varians absented. A single projection of one shape was observed at the apex of columellae in A. viridis, while 1–2 projections of three shapes in A. varians . The apophyses of the top width and base width in A. viridis were wider than those in A. varians, both at the top (12.2–26.5 µm vs. 10.5–22.5 µm) and at the base (6.8–18.3 µm vs. 5.5–11.0 μm). The apophysis-underneath septum grew at a closer distance in A. viridis than in A. varians (10.4–18.3 µm vs. 13.5–19.0 µm). The sporangiospores shape of A. viridis possessed mainly one kind, while A. varians possessed three kinds.
