Echinosphaeria canescens/strigosa

Chris YeatesI have collected good material of an Echinosphaeria and would like to place images on the database. I am aware that there is no clear line between the two species - indeed some authorities suspect they are one and the same. What are the chief 'differences' please? I suspect this is a question for Alain and his special knowledge!

J'ai rassemblé bon matériel et que vous souhaitez placer des images sur la base de données. Je suis conscient qu'il n'ya pas de ligne claire entre les deux espèces. Quelles sont les 'différences' s'il vous plaît? Je soupçonne que c'est une question pour Alain et sa connaissance particulière!

merci et amitiés

E. canescens is believed to have smaller ascospores (17–24 x 3–4 µm) than E. strigosa (34–40 x 6–7 µm), but I have not seen good material of E. strigosa.  If anyone has good material of E. strigosa, I would love to sequence it and let DNA solve this mystery once and for all...;o)  I believe E. strigosa was described from England.

Re : Echinosphaeria canescens/strigosa
thanks for that Andy - of course the ascospores from my collection measure 24.2-28.6 x 4.8-6µm . . . . . typical! These spores are still hyaline and mostly non-septate, but were ejected in a water mount so presumably they're 'natural' size - I'll post some images later today.

there are few mycologists collecting these kind of fungi in the UK, but those who do and  are using Ellis & Ellis I as their source are going to be producing a confusing situation - that work does not include Lasiosphaeria strigosa, but does have L. canescens with spore measurements of 30-40 x 4-5µm.

Hi Andy,
I have strigosa dated the 23rd december 2011. Is it too old ?
Chris, I've already got Echinosphaeria like yours...disturbing.

Re : Echinosphaeria canescens/strigosa
Dear Alain,

  That would be perfect if the collection contains 20-30 ascomata.  I can try sequencing it and see where it comes in relation to E. canescens.  I already have several sequences of E. canescens from Europe and North America.

Hi all

I suppose the spores get distinctly narrower when placed in lethal media. Chris's spores are alive, according to the regular multiguttulate interior.

Re : Echinosphaeria canescens/strigosa
yes they were alive; I shall dry the material and revive and look at it later in various reagents, to see if there are any significant differences

Re : Echinosphaeria canescens/strigosa
Hi all,

E. canescens and E. strigosa not only have spores with different dimensions, but they have a different shape too. See paper in annex.

Best regards,
Bernard

Re : Echinosphaeria canescens/strigosa
Bernard's beautiful photos just reminded me that what I have in my collections are lots of specimens of E. strigosa (the longer-spored species).  What I really need are collections of E. canescens (the shorter-spored species; 17–24 x 3–4 µm) for molecular study.  My apologies for my confusion...

Re : Echinosphaeria canescens/strigosa
So in view of that - and looking at Bernard's illustrations - should I label my collection "E. cf. strigosa" then?

Yes, if being nomenclaturally correct is important to you...;o)
