Bonjour à tous, Une récolte sur bouse séchée d
A Xylaria globosa (Spreng. ex Fr.) Mont. is a only Xylaria species with red-orange colorations in the ascostroma. This specimen found in the Cordillera Central, 500 mts. altitude, has these characteristics. The orange-red coloration develops only in thin sterile cilindrical stromata arising between fertile globose black stromata , they have few peritecias. The ascospores are 18-24 x 6-8 microns.
In http://mushroaming.com/Amazing_Amazon is referred as X. glabrosa, but i cant found any references to this specie.
Saludo.
In my experience X. polymorpha s.st. and X. obovata (syn schweinitzii) never produce red droplets when emerging but my concept of X. globosa does (= anisopleura). But this complex still needs a lot of attention using other methods :-)
The red drop producing taxon is extremely common in Ecuador and presumably over most of the Neotropics
cheers
Thomas
