Biscogniauxia sp.
Zetti Mario, 06-11-2023 22:44
I am not sure how much you can help me with these images found on a dead tree presumably Quercus sp. The fungus manifests itself as widespread black stromata forming large irregular patches often in longitudinal patterns. The surface is minutely bumped by almost-microscope pycnidia. 

I have not collected a specimen, but I can if revisit and collect, nonetheless  the cross section of the stroma reveals some data that might be helpful

So to conclude I assume this is  a  Biscogniauxia sp. and wonder if from the photos we can determine the species - maybe Biscogniauxia mediterranea  ?

Tnx

Re : Biscogniauxia sp.
Hi Mario
More than likely, but it would be better to know what the spores look like or at least to be able to see the typical pyramidal neck of the perithecia.

Re : Biscogniauxia sp.
Will do and try to determine the tree if possible. Thanks !
Cheers

Re : Biscogniauxia sp.
Hello, so I have worked a bit more on this carbonaceous fungus. 

The host was Quercus ilex
The ostiole is surrounded by a pyramidal projection, like a volcano
The Peritheca a single layer of cylindrical structures, 0.8mm long, 0.2um wide, pentagonal cross-section, sitting on a thin black layer about 50-80um thick
The spores elliptical about 15-19 um long with a longitudinal pale central band.
(14.7) 15.3 - 18.3 (19.3) × (6.4) 7.1 - 8.1 (8.4) µm
IK+, the rim stains like a broad U shape hence haveing a bowl-shaped

I think we can conclude and confirm B. mediterranea

Yes, Mario, I think so.
