Black dots on maple leaf
Alan Rockefeller, 31-12-2013 11:00
Alan RockefellerGrowing on Acer macrophyllum (bigleaf maple).  Seen at the Yuba Watershed Fungus Fair.

No asci observed. Many parathyses with tiny oil drops were seen, they measured 30 – 45 × 2 – 3 micrometers. Many clavate basidia-like things seen, however they never had sterigmata or spores inside. Those measured (28) 36 – 47 x (5) 7 – 8 micrometers.

Hi Alan..
That is probably Rhytisma punctatum.  The US host-index lists it on Acer macrophyllum in California, Oregon and Washington.  The "clavate, basidia-like things" are probably immature asci.  These would be mature in the spring at about the time the new leaves are emerging on the tree.

Re : Black dots on maple leaf
Alan, I found that leaf and posted it on MO as Rhytisma punctatum.  I have the other two leaves from that collection also.  I scoped them too and also saw no mature asci.

Here are some more macro images... http://mushroomobserver.org/156379?q=1higi?

Edit:  I understand that punctuate dots like this on Acer macrophyllum = R. punctatum, but there is another species with a somewhat similar appearence on other maples.
