Possible Mollisia atlantica?
Hardware Tony, 09-09-2020 21:07
Hardware TonyNot only because I live near the atlantic coast but after careful anaylsis of this record I noted the longer spores and 1-sepatate which pointed me towards M. atlantica. M. cinera and M. palustris which are more common and can appear macro wise similar. This was found on Corylus I think, under damp conditions also with Salix nearby. Narrow asci at 55 x 4.69 with tips bluing. Spores as stated on pictograph 9.0 - 12.17µm x 2.20µm. Rounded both ends rather than pointed.
Apprecaite any advice in case this is something esle.

Re : Possible Mollisia atlantica?
maybe but I am sceptical until you shw me living asci with septate spores. Septa may occur in many species when spores get overmature.

Re : Possible Mollisia atlantica?
Thanks Otto, couldn't see spores with septate within the ascus of the images I have so sure you are correct and move back to something like Mollisia fusca. Some of the younger and smaller spores ejected also showed no signs of a septate. 

Many thanks  Tony

You could check if the apothecia react yellow in KOH (at 100x or even under the Bino or naked eye). Put an apo in a drop of KOH on the slide. M. fusca reacts yellow, atlantica not.

Hi Otto,
Unfortunately not possible at this time but something I will take into account in the future if coming across this simiilar species again. Thanks again.
