Bonjour à tous, Je recherche cette publication :
Acrospermum graminum - Spore Sizes
Peter Thompson,

I have been trying to find information about the sizes of the filiform spores of Acrospermum graminum.
They are not stated in the Ellis & Ellis Microfungi on Land Plants book and so far, I have been unable to find the information anywhere else.
If you have the details of this, I would be very grateful to receive them.
Thanking you in advance,
Peter.

Re : Acrospermum graminum - Spore Sizes
Hello Peter,
Rehm (in Rabenhorst Kryptogamenflora ) gives for A. compresum,including A. graminum, the size of the spores as 100-400 x 1 MU.
Saccardo gives (Sylloge II page 807 ) 130-150 x 3-5 MU.
Rehm again states that given the development of the apothecia (!) the lenght of the spores varies.
Best regards,
Marco

Hello Marco,
Thank you for these measurements.
The Saccardo width measurements seem too wide for filiform spores. I think that I shall use the Rehm measurements.
Best wishes,
Peter.

Re : Acrospermum graminum - Spore Sizes
Hello Chris,
Thank you for this.
The Transactions of the BMS look very useful. I think that this is the first one which I have seen.
Do you, by any chance, have information about the spore sizes of the 5 powdery mildews which I listed in my other Forum request yesterday? This was the remaining information which I did not capture from a previous Forum request a few months ago.
Best wishes,
Peter.
