Unknown (lophodermium-like) species on heracleum (new pics added)
Ralph Vandiest, 26-02-2014 22:16
Ralph VandiestHello,

I found this species on heracleum. Size 0,2/0,4mmx0,1/0,2mm, asci 8-spored 47/64x16/21, spores 13/18x6/8µm. Textura angularis and the paraphyses are absent in this stage


Any suggestions?

regards,


Ralph

I suppose this is a bitunicate ascomycete. The spore shape with the strong constriction and broader upper part suggests this, also the wonderful ohoto of living asci with the apical thickening lets me think of a "jack-in-the-box"-mechanism.

I have no experience with such fungi. Maybe this is rather a pyrenomycete.

Hi all,
I have no idea right now, though I wonder if I haven't seen something similar. There's a young ascus on a photo clearly suggesting a Dothideomycetes, a bitunicate.
You gotta search among Didymella, Mycosphaerella, Venturia and other didymosporous Dothideomycetes. I'll try to have a look tomorrow.
Cheers - LUC.

Re : Unknown (lophodermium-like) species on heracleum (new pics added)
I have a better idea: just check a bit Psiloglonium and related genera, here for example? Looks like the ascomes are hysteriothecia's.
There are genera with Didymella-like didymospores:

http://studiesinmycology.org/content/64/1/49.full.pdf+html

My two cents.
Cheers - LUC

EDIT: from informal email exchanges, it appears Psiloglonium have a much thicker peridium, so scrap that.
I fear that's one of those many species which need further samples to be studied and sequenced by professional mycologists and labs :/

Hello Luc,


Thanks for the info. I will have a look at this genus tonight.


PS I saw you're from Belgium. Where. i from Vossem (Tervuren)

You're welcome, Ralph.

I'm from Roche-à-Frêne, Manhay, province Luxembourg, and I'm active member in the Mycologues du Luxembourg Belge, Société Botanique de Liège (mycology section) and AMFB. And some French societies.

More off-forum.

Cheers - LUC.

Hi friends,

here are further results of the "lophodermium-like" species from Ralph. It is not a Dothideomycete, but I am thinking of Lecanoromycetes.

I do not have an idea until now. But I will study more literature to find it out.

regards,
björn
