Sclerotinia minor vs borealis

Hola a todosI am trying to distinguish between Sclerotinia minor and Sclerotinia borealis. I know that Sclerotinia minor has 4 nucleus per spore, but I do not know how many nucleus has Sclerotinia borealis. Somebody knows that or has information about Sclerotinia borealis?
J'essaie de faire la distinction entre Sclerotinia minor et Sclerotinia borealis.
Sclerotinia minor a 4 noyaux par des spores, mais ne sais pas combien ont la Sclerotinia borealis. Ce que quelqu'un sait ou avoir des renseignements à ce sujet?
Gracias por adelantado,
Raúl

Re:Sclerotinia minor vs borealis
Hola Raul
fine photo with clearly 4 nuclei. How is the macro of your Sclerotinia? How big are they? Where did you collect? Also: Are the paraphyses free of VBs? Sclerotium without host tissue?
I do not know S. borealis.

Hi Zotto
A bit tricky, I used CombineZP ;-)
I cannot load photos now, this night I will. Diametre of apos: 1-2 mm. Sclerotia: 1-1,5 mm, without host tissue. Collected in a burnt area next to Plantago crassifolia and other grasses. No refractive guttules in paraphyses, but filled with guttules. All spores of the same length within an ascus.

Re:Sclerotinia minor vs borealis
Hi Raul
Martin found the key on Sclerotinia on the web:
http://replay.waybackmachine.org/20081208042643/http://biologi.uio.no/bot/ascomycetes/Taxa/Sclerotinia.html
Here I notice that S. borealis is said to have ascospores with pointed ends, thick-walled, 14-21 x 6-9 µm. This seems to be distinctly longer than in your fungus. No info on nuclei.
So with the key I think this is S. minor.

Thanks Zotto (and thanks Martin)
I give up, it must be minor. I have found an article of Shumacher a Kohn where they talk about octanucleate ascospores for Sclerotinia borealis! See page 1632:
http://www.nrcresearchpress.com/doi/pdf/10.1139/b85-224
Another article of Sclerotinia borealis with drawings and description of Groves and Bowerman:
http://www.nrcresearchpress.com/doi/pdf/10.1139/b55-047
So a "borealis" species, not mediterranean.
And finally found and article where says Plantago can be a host for Sclerotinia minor:
