Is anyone familiar with the Hyphomycetes genus Pse
Hysterium on resin (Picea abies)

I have a Hysterium on resin from bark of Picea abies. It deviates from H. pulicare found on a nearby tree. The ascomata are narrower and more upright with a slightly "sharper" apical edge, and a narrower base. Spores measure 20-26 x 6-8 microns, 3-septate without constrictions and end-cells not notably paler (only on a few of the spores). Could it be H. angustatum? (Is H. angustatum synonymous with H. acuminatum?). Or is this within the variability of H. pulicare?

Re : Hysterium on resin (Picea abies)
Hi Edvin,
To my mind, it's definitively not H. pulicare.
H. angustatum is considered to be the most widespread species, in a variety of substrates (including Picea). But your collection, which I would link to H. angustatum, is still atypical. Perhaps a serious study would be necessary to better understand what H. angustatum really is.
Getting molecular data could be an excellent idea, as an anticipation.

Thank you very much, Alain. I will then follow-up in order to possibly identify it.
Best,
