Hello everyone, On dead wood of Cytisus scoparius
Dear friends,could you help me with identification of Herpotrichia-like fungus from dead Juniperus twigs?
Grateful before,
Alex
Spores and asci seems to be very similar to those of Melaspileella proximella (Nyl.) Ertz & Diederich (= Banhegyia setispora L. Zeller & Tóth). What about ascomata?
Congratulations on a successful return from Vietnam !
You're absolutely right! I cannot help wondering your erudition.
Pseudothecia surface, black, slightly flattened, with soft walls, about 200 microns in diameter. Both macro- and microstructures are consistent to Melaspileella proximella. However, I did not see the setae on the ascospores.
Given the rarity of this species, I think it would be right to send a duplicate of sample to Damien Ertz and Paul Diederich.
Friendly,
Alex
