Identifying Ascocoryne sarcoides from the anamorph
B Shelbourne, 02-08-2024 18:09
B ShelbourneIs it possible to identify Ascocoryne sarcoides in the UK (Europe?) from the anamorph without microscopic examination?

I have read that microscopy is better to distinguish the apothecia from A. cylinchnium. Is this the only similar species to consider, and is the brain-like anamorph only formed by A. sarcoides?


I include some photos from southern England, last year (20/11/2023), showing both morphs together on the fallen trunk of an unindentified angiosperm, possibly Betula, in mixed deciduous woodland.


Thanks in advance.

Re : Identifying Ascocoryne sarcoides from the anamorph
Hi Ben

yes, this anamorph can hardly be anything else than A. sarcoides. The apothecia probably belong to it, but that requires the microscope.

Our work on the genus revealed distinctly more species than three in Europe as previously thought. But the anamorphs are always small and mostly roundish in outline.
