Re : Unknown disco from Scotland
Dear Derek
this is a member of the Hyphodiscus stereicola complex which is not a Hyphodiscus, but a Cordieritidacee without a known generic name. The complex is quite difficult, we have not yet a clue to distinguish among the species, especially because some of the sequenced specimens remained undocumented, a frequent mistake.
I would be pleased to add the collection data to this sample. Fagus is easily recognoized when looking for the pores and radial rays already with a handlens. A photo of a cross break could help.

Thanks Ingo,
We had considered Eriopezia caesia but the hairs seemed to rule it out.

Re : Unknown disco from Scotland
Eriopezia has a brown globulosa.
Ah: did you test the iodine reaction? The asci should be negative as all Cordieritidaceae.

Re : Unknown disco from Scotland
Thanks Zotto,
Fascinating! Hope the names get sorted out before too long, it is a very distinctive looking species. We will try to get a sequence on it. Please do use our data if it is of any help.

Re : Unknown disco from Scotland
Thanks! Tell me please if you find out something about the substrate.
We have a lot of collections and the issue is quite old, but too many species are so difficult that a species concept is almost impossible to obtain.

Re : Unknown disco from Scotland
Thanks zotto. Kerry can send you the material if you would like to look at it. I have a few fruitbodies dissected from the wood for an ITS sequence. We have another 'Unknown disco from Scotland' and will post details just now

Re : Unknown disco from Scotland
Hi Derek
it is great that you want to obtain a sequence. I will put the pics in one of my viridula folders, waiting for results. There is little help in studying them personally, the features are so similar and I have no clue as yet.
