Hi to all
Because I couldn't to obtain original description of Stomiopeltis callunae, in B. Erikss., Svensk bot. Tidskr. 68(2): 225 (1974).
Could this fungus be it?
Thanks again

I'm not sure about the fungus Enrique, but here is the reference - also the reference to comparison with Arnaudiella referred to:

Re : Stomiopeltis on Calluna vulgaris
Hola Enrique
Interestingly - to my eyes - the illustration shows a small but definite constriction on most of the spores; I think your fungus could well be S. callunae. Macroscopically, it also resembles this collection: http://www.kotihiiri.com/polku/kuvat/Stomiopeltis_callunae.jpg, particularly the way in which the ascocarps are somewhat polygonal rather than circular (algo poligonal en lugar de circular) . . . .

Re : Stomiopeltis on Calluna vulgaris
Hi Chris
You're right. Some spores seem to be constricted at this picture! But I would have liked to know how the guttulation in living ascospores was.
Thanks a lot for help me
