Seimatosporium cf. lichenicola on Rosa canina ?

today i found this black spots on Rosa canina and i think it may be the genus Seimatosporium. The conidia are only 3-septate and appendages are up to 10 Micrometer long.
Could this be Seimatosporium lichenicola ?
best regards,
Thorben

Re : Seimatosporium cf. lichenicola on Rosa canina ?
I think of S. lichenicola as having more pigmented, thicker-walled, clavate conidia with wider and darker septa, but your conidia might be young. Seimatosporium lichenicola also often lacks appendages, but your dimensions are similar to those reported by others for this species. I looked at Shoemaker (1964) and didn't find a satisfactory match, e.g. similar to Seimatosporium discosioides except for the appendage length and possibly habit (I'm not sure if S. discosioides is reported from stems). Doesn't match S. rosae either.

I too cannot make a satisfactory match; though it surely isn't S. lichenicola, which in my experience usually has collapsed walls.
