Dear collegues,

I collected a small Scutellinia in a muddy track, together with Coprinopsis narcoticus.

It has round spores with spines and short hairs, but I don't succeed to determine it with SCHUMACHER key.

Spores: round to roundish, 17,5-20 µm in diam., but some are not perfect globose e.g. 18 x 17 µm and 19 x 18 µm.

Spines are sharp, 2-2,5 µm high, very few may be up to 3 µm high

Hairs are remarkably few when seen through the dissecting micorscope, short, 200-350 (500) µm, base not furcate or rarely bifurcate. Only few septae, which are wuite thin.

It seems not to be Scutellinia legaliae due to the lower spines and bigger spores and also the haits don't fit good.

Any ideas?

thank you and best regards,

Andreas

Re : round spored Scutellinia - but which?

I think it's S. legaliae. I have collections with such spore size.

Hi in the round,
here a find from our distrikt, where Scut. legaliae is not rare.
Greetings

Adio à tous,

Effectivement, chez S. legaliae, il est même rare que les spores soient sphériques, on est toujours sur un Q moyen de 1.1.
