Buckwheat PeteHello, I'd like to ask about this older specimen:
A second anamorph on seed-pod Cytisus

Black conidiomata breaking through the epidermis, with an average diameter less than 50 µm;
a)The conidia are hyaline, elliptical / fusiform with some lipid bodies in the vicinity of the poles.
Dimensions: (5.7) 7.9 - 10.1 (10.7) × (2.3) 2.8 - 3.6 (3.9) µm
Q = (2.1) 2.3 - 3.3 (3.9); N = 30
Me = 9 × 3.2 µm; Qe = 2.8
b) Conidiophore longer than 30 µm and almost 3 µm wide
Thanks in advance,
François Bartholomeeusen

Re : A second anamorph on seed-pod Cytisus
I compared the anamorph of "Pezicula" scoparia which is the anamorph of Apiculospora spartii Wijayawardene et al. 2016. ITS of that from Spartium is congruent with P. scoparia on Cytisus scoparius. The conidia get larger and finally dark brown and septate, however.
The species is in my folder scoparia of Rodwaylla (Pezizellaceae).

Re : A second anamorph on seed-pod Cytisus
Dear Zotto,
Thank you very much for your reply. I compared my find with your folder "scoparia of Rodwaylla" but there was no match.
Today I examined again another conidiomatum and my findings are the same. The conidia are and remain hyaline. As I reported to Bernard Declerck regarding my previous entry on the forum, I will classify this find under 'UFO' (unidentified fungal object).
Kind regards Zotto and thanks again,
François
