Hi Angel,
Difficult to distinguish H. quercinum, H. quercicola and H. microsorum only with asexual morph.

PS Very nice picture !

Re : Puede ser Helminthosporium quercicola?
Thanks for your answer Alain.
I wrote quercicola instead of quercinum. I have some immature ascomata and by the sexual morph at the moment I can not identify it.
Thanks again.
Regards
Angel

On which Quercus species? On Quercus ilex in all cases examined we have only seen H. microsorum.
Best, Hermann

Re : Puede ser Helminthosporium quercicola?
Ya, then should be microsorum. also the fascicle of conidiophores as illustrated is quite distinctive, H. microsorum always has such punctiform conidiophore groups, often aggregated in large numbers but never effused.

Re : Puede ser Helminthosporium quercicola?
Then if you say it must be microssorum, I will try to find somo moore ascomata to see if I find mature ascospores and try to know better this fungus.
Asexual morph sporulate in culture?
Thanks Hemann

Re : Puede ser Helminthosporium quercicola?
Hola Angel,
It did not sporulate in our cultures on MEA; however, we didn't try other media. According to our experience the asexual morph is not uncommon but sometimes difficult to see; often there are just slight elevations of the bark, and very commonly the conidiophores grow densely above the ascomata (likewise also in H. quercinum). So it is always a good idea to look beyond elevated bumps bearing fascicles of conidiophores. The ascospores are very diagnostic, by the wavy outline of the inner wall.
Saludos,
Hermann
