Tympanis conspersus ?
Ethan Crenson, 11-11-2019 05:13
Found recently in a New York City park. It appears to be a Tympanis sp., erumpent through fissues in the bark of a hardwood branch (possibly Quercus or Liriodendron tulipifera). The fertile surface is black and the margin and outer surface is pruinose with powdery granules. Asci measure approximately 103-162 x 15-25µm. The contents of the asci are very confusing, ranging from tiny granules to larger globose forms and other blobs. I thought I detected some hyaline allantoid spores with oil droplets at the ends, but I'm not sure they belong to this collection. They measured 3-4 x 1-1.5µm. Is it possible that this is Tympanis conspersus?
Thank you in advance.
Ethan

Re : Tympanis conspersus ?
My impression is that the population is immature. perhaps you can riped it a bit? Important is to see the ascospores inside the asci and how the ascoconidia are formed on them when the asci are still alive.
The white powder on the exterior consists of crystals, presumably calcium oxalate, typical of T. alni (former conspersa) and some others.
