Associated with Sphaeropsis sapinea?
Jenny Seawright, 10-03-2015 14:50
Jenny SeawrightHello all,

I noticed a gelatinous substance on cone scales of Pinus sylvestris, in many (but not all) cases associated with black perithecia.

Spores / conidia from the black perithecia were light brown, simple but some faintly 1-septate, 29-37 x 15 µm - smaller than those suggested by Christian Lechat as Sphaeropsis sapinea in different post, but within the size range for that species?

Conidia from the gelatinous substance were hyaline, c. 24-29 x 3-4 µm. Are these from a different fungus?

With regards,
Jenny

Re : Associated with Sphaeropsis sapinea?
Hi Jenny
I would still be happy that that is Sphaeropsis sapinea; I have seen it with two and even on occasion three septa. Regarding your second fungus, although your conidial sizes are at the very top end I would wonder about these being beta-condia of Phomopsis conorum now treated as one of the numerous synonyms of the plurivorous Diaporthe eres; I see this is currently in Species Fungorum under an anamorph name - "One Fungus, One Name" at work here? http://www.speciesfungorum.org/Names/SynSpecies.asp?RecordID=123547

best wishes
Chris

Re : Associated with Sphaeropsis sapinea?
Thanks for the reply Chris, and for confirming the Sphaeropsis. I'll try and find some spores and perithecia of Diaporthe eres among it.........

With regards
Jenny

Re : Associated with Sphaeropsis sapinea?
Hi Jenny
you won't necessarily be able to find the teleomorph. It is quite common to find Phomopsis spp. on dead twigs, stems, leaves etc., without the accompanying Diaporthe.

After a while recognising Phomopsis alpha*- and ß-conidia is generally quite straightforward - do you have access to the two volumes of British Stem & Leaf Fungi by W.B. Grove?

best wishes
Chris

Re : Associated with Sphaeropsis sapinea?
Thanks again Chris, but no, I don't have either volume of Grove's "Stem and Leaf Fungi"
