I would like to know more about the fungus living on a young oak tree, which is dying. The bark of the tree is covered with black spot that here and there become redish, corresponding to the perithecia seen in the photos.
Measurements:
Asci ~230 x 20 µm
Spores 12-13 x 6 µm, hyaline, 1-septate
there eere also some big brown spores inside the perithecia with 25-35 x 20 µm
Thanks in advance,
zaca

Re : Red perithecia
Hi to all,
yes, Andreas is right, but the identity of the host fungus is essential to guide the research.
All the best,
Christian

Re : Red perithecia
I agree, Andreas. The first thing that might narrow things down a bit, would be to identify the black stromatic material on which the Nectriaceous entiity sits and then look for an appropriate fungicolous species amongst the Nectriaceae. It would be helpful, indeed, to see if there are any mature asci in that black crust. Best of Luck,
Simon

Re : Red perithecia
My dears Andreas, Christian and Simon,
Thanks for your comments; That's the magic of AscoFrance: You can be lost, but you are not alone.
As I said I think that the host tree is a young oak tree; I will try to confirm that in situ. Meanwhile, I will try to find something on the black crust.
Kind Regards,
zaca
