Hi, I found this colourful Pyronema on damp ashes and burnt sticks at an old BBQ site. Under the microscope, I cannot see developed fruitings else globular-pustulate sterile bodies and only sterile hypha (paraphyses?) attached to an excipulum made of stout irregular somewhat chained elements like the branches of a prickly pear tree.I have them under observation for two days, and I spray water, etc., to try and revive them to see fertile bodies, but they seem dormant (or dead). Clues about this finding are welcomed, but it seems that P. domesticum is is a slightly better option.
Thanks
