Hello William,
although out of the scope of the forum I will try to answer you.
Your Dacrymyces seems to be still unripe - as you do not show spores.
The hyphae without clamps point to the species-pair capitatus/stillatus.
There are few microscopical differences between them - and as not only I think also no sharp macroscopical delimitations.
I cannot see if your Dacrymyces has a stipe-like base - to call it D. capitatus this way. Why not call it stillatus? - this looks this way in young (unripe) stage.
Best regards from Lothar
p.s.: Dacrymyces (m) - so: capitatus (not capitata f)
Thx for your interesting reaction, Lothar. There is not a stipe-like base.
This is indeed not the correct forum, I must have had a weak moment :-)
Best regards,
William
