Gernot FriebesHi,I am curious to hear your opinion on this mater
Bitunicate asco on Betula
Enrique Rubio,

Do you know this bitunicate ascomycete with inconspicuous inmersed stromata with 1-2 pseudothecia, erumpent trought the bark of Betula small branches?
Spores are inequally two celled and their walls are longitudinally striate (only visible in Melzer). They have some pseudosepta too.
I don't know what genus belongs this fungus
Many thanks again

Re : Bitunicate asco on Betula
Hi Enrique,
You should look in the Pleomassariaceae. Perhaps it could be Pleomassaria siparia = Splanchnonema siparium but striate ornementation reminds me at other species which occurs on other hosts.
I will research more.

Re : Bitunicate asco on Betula
I agree with René to say it isn't siparia. Personnaly, I thought at S. quercicola (on Quercus) which has striate ascopores, as yours.

Re : Bitunicate asco on Betula
I think now it could be Splanchnonema argus. It occurs on Betula.
I let you verify.

Re : Bitunicate asco on Betula
Hi Enrique,
I'll give you a portrait of Splanchnonema argus and the anamorph Myxocyclus polycistis.
(By the way - fine photo, Chris!)
Some days ago I found this two species together on Betula - Twigs.
The spores of Splanchnonema argus were 60-72 x 14-17µm.
Now you can compare.
Best wishes
Norbert

Re : Bitunicate asco on Betula
Many thanks to all
I think my fungus is not S. argus because my ascospores with striate walls are not encapsulated.
I was looked for S. striatutulum and S. quercicola, as Alain and René said, and I think that S. quercicola is a good possibility. Do you know if this fungus has been collected in Europe?
