Hello Riet,

I notice your link to my forum posting for a sample of a Niesslia sp., which I found growing on Typha latifolia in the United Kingdom.

I posted my sample to Walter Gams so that he could study it and he concluded that it was almost certainly a species of Niesslia new to science. During email correspondence with Walter Gams, I did agree a provisional Niesslia typhae spec. nov. with him.

Unfortunately, he was never able to work on describing this sample, due to lack of a budget for work on this genus.

Regrettably, he is no longer alive.

Unless anyone else is able to create a species description for this taxon, it will remain undescribed.

With Best Wishes,
Peter Thompson.

Hello Peter,
Thank you for your information!
Best wishes,
Riet

Indeed not very respectful .... 
Thank you for your information Chris!

So the Dutch find could be Niesslia typhae? 

Hello Riet and Chris,

I had no idea that the late Walter Gams' outstanding work on Niesslia had been completed and published earlier this year.

If it is believed that I am entitled to receive a copy of the publication, I shall investigate. 

Riet - Once a copy of this document published by Springer becomes available, it will then be possible to compare your material with the information published. 

Chris - Thanks for looking into this. I notice that Niesslia typhae is a blue entry in Index Fungorum. I wonder if work is complete on its creation as a new taxon?

Thank You,
With Best Wishes,
Peter.

Thank you very much for all your help Peter en Chris!
With best wishes,
Riet

Dear Martin,

I have received your email and the attached document about the new Niesslia species.

Thank you very much for your help with this.

With Best Wishes,
Peter.
