I found this small orange Ascomycete in a forest in England, on a well used Deer trail. It was growing on the ground amongst leaf litter and Pine needles in February. I'm sure that it is a Byssonectria but I would appreciate any comments about species as some of the information I have read is rather contradictory - especially relating to B. terrestris/B. fusispora.
Many thanks.

Hello,
Maybe you can have a look in Olariaga & Hansen (2011). New and noteworthy records of Pezizomycetes in Sweden and the Nordic countries?. Karstenia 51:1-16.
I can send you the paper privately if you don´t have access to it. We found that the spore guttulation and the content of the paraphyses alive might have significance for species delimitation. It would therefore be helpful if you could upload microphotos in living state. From what I see, your collection looks more like B. terrestris than B. fusispora in my opinion, though I don´t see well the subiculum, but that can be variable according to Pfister and Yao & Spooner.
Cheers,
Ibai.
many thanks for the reply. All of the photos are of fresh material. The spore photo was a fresh spore in water so I would say it was in "living state" I can take a photo of the paraphyses and asci in water if that would be helpful.
I would really like to see "New and noteworthy records of Pezizomycetes in Sweden and the Nordic countries" I'll send you a message.
David
Muchas gracias por adelantado

I would be glad if you can send it to me too :))
thanks and regards,

can I join the queue too please?

Hello again,
I sent the paper to all of you!
Sorry David, I missed the last photo with the measures. Yes, maybe to see the paraphyses in water would be helpful to compare it to the living paraphyses photos of the paper.
The paraphyses of your collection are bent as in the collection we assigned to B. terrestris, and the width of the spores also matches our measures for B. terrestris (broader than in our B. fusispora collection).
Cheers,
Ibai.
Cheers,
Ibai.
Sure Chris!
I will send you the paper too.
Eskerrak zuri! :-)
Ibai.
Thank you!
Gernot

Si no es mucha molestía, ¿me lo podrías enviar también?
Gracias y un saludo,
Raúl

Si todavía estoy a tiempo, ¿Podrías enviármelo a mí también?
Muchas gracias

Hello Ibai,
Can you put me on the list too?
Many thanks,
Nick
From your photographs and data it does look much more like B. terrestris.
David

I'm very interestet in this paper, too!
Because last year I found a Byssonectria near droppings of deer.
Maybe fusispora?
Thank you!
Norbert

I'm very interestet in this paper, too!
Thank you Ueli
I would be very grateful to receive a copy of the Byssonectria paper as well, please.
I notice that in Index Fungorum and in the Fungal Records Database of Britain & Ireland, Byssonectria terrestris is given the current name Thelebolus terrestris. To me, this seems to be incorrect.
Thank you,
Best wishes,
Peter.

Si no es mucha molestia, por favor, envíame el artículo.
Un abrazo.

as I have pointed out elsewhere:
One problem arises in that IndexFungorum is a nomenclatural list - not a taxonomic one. The waters are muddied rather by incorporating SpeciesFungorum into IF (note how the page colour changes from grey to green). SpeciesFungorum is CABI's taxonomic opinion, harvested from various sources, and can never be 'the final word'. From necessity it is often well behind current opinions, something I have found when working on the Peronosporales for example.
Amitiés

Thank you in advance.
I missed this thread in 2013, I would also like to receive a pdf of this paper if someone has it available.
With thank and regards,
Chris
I thought it is worth adding to this post that I have recently uploaded a sample of what I believe to be Byssonectria fusispora to the database. The differences in macro appearence, colouring and paraphyses from Byssonectria terrestis seem to fit well with the descriptions in the paper “Olariaga & Hansen (2011). New and noteworthy records of Pezizomycetes in Sweden and the Nordic countries?. Karstenia 51:1-16.” mentioned by Ibai earlier in the thread.
These were found in April on a compacted footpath through heathland which ran alongside mature pine trees. The apotheca were 0.5 to 1.5mm in diameter.

concerning the differences between B. terrestris and fusispora, this paper is also very helpful:
