Mark Stevens"Hello everyone,I'm relatively new to microscopy (

Hello, Forum!
It was collected in 22 March? 2011, on catkins of Corylus avellana.
Looks like Ciboria coryli, but I'm not sure. Is someone familiar with this species?
With best regards,
Irina
Zotto
I fully concur, and I add that it is necessary to have living spores in order to see the two nuclei. I am not sure whether one can find living spores in Ciboria when the material was dry for some months.
Zotto
Zotto, now I see that I really squashed spores my preparation.
Irina?
Wow! Was it a fresh specimen?
And I will wait for the next spring and do my best to look at fresh material (hope to have a field microscope by that time).
Irina
At least Ciboria conformata kept some spores alive after it was dry for a week. See attach, you can see some spores still with the nucleolus. I use little plastic bags to keep moisture in the field and then I put them as soon as possible in the fridge till I can study them.
Raúl
it is from a single fresh specimen, that I found in March this year.
Regards
Martin
PS: and as Raúl said: you don't need a field microscope. Just put your collection in a plastic bag or box and keep it slightly moist for comfortable examination at home...
