Bonjour à tous,Je voudrais votre avis sur cette r

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
Hello Nicolas,
o.k., then S. legaliae.
thank you and best regards,
Andreas
Oui, je pense aussi qu'il s'agite de S. legaliae. Je pense aussi que la forme ronde des ascospores peut varier et qu'il est possible d'en trouver de celles imparfaitement rondes, comme par exemple chez Ramsbottomia crec'hqueraultii !

Cher René,
merci beaucoup aussi à toi pour ta reponse!
amicalement,
Andreas

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