Phaeosphaeria on Juncus cf conglomeratus

Hi,I am trying to identify this small Phaeosphaeria growing on dead Juncus stems. It could be something around P. volkartiana - P. minuscula, but my literature (Leuchtmann 1984, Shoemaker&Babcock 1989) does not give me a species with the spore size 22-25x6-7µm.
The perithecia are very small (around 100-130µm), black, with indistinct ostiolus and partly embedded into epidermis. Asci are 80-105x11-14µm.
Mature spores almost have 6-7 septa with 5. cell thicker than the others. Lower part tapered, the whole spore surface is regularly echinulate as seen on the photos.
Une idée? merci pour votre l'aide.
amicalement,
björn

Re : Phaeosphaeria on Juncus cf conglomeratus
Massariosphaeria typhicola and M. adrianii are also very similar in spore shape and surface, but have bigger size (M. typhicola 27-32x5-7µm, one finding on Juncus sp., M. adrianii 30-37x8-10µm, on Scirpus).
:/
edit: Ok I would call my finding as Massariosphaeria typhicola. If someone has another idea, please tell me ;)

björn

Re : Phaeosphaeria on Juncus cf conglomeratus
Hi Björn,
Yes, You're probably right. It's very closed to M. typhicola. Perhaps if you check again ascomatas, you will find longer ascospores ? Perhaps not and it would be interesting.
For waiting, keep this M. sp. cf typhicola in herbarium.

Re : Phaeosphaeria on Juncus cf conglomeratus
Hi Alain,
thank you for the opinion. Yes it would be interesting if there are no other bigger spores. This record was random, I just chipped up something from the surface and had only one fruitbody between substrate material. I did not expect it in this preparation. I hope I can find another fruitbody, if yes, I will check again and tell you something more about the spore size.

björn

Massariosphaeria sp. and M. typhicola?
Hi Alain,
I have made numerous preparates and only one of them had 2 additional fruitbodies with a bigger spore size (23-28x6-7µm). I think it is not mature at all because most spores were inside the asci.
In one of the preparates there were some other spores without asci. I took a photo of them too.
amicalement,
björn
and notice, all preparates were made from the same Juncus stem.

Nice photos.
It really looks like M. typhicola.

Mysterious. But very interesting. I will collect some more Juncus stems next time, even if there is nothing to see :P
Thanks Alain.

Yes, I think. Ther is probablity variability in ascospores' length.

Re : Phaeosphaeria on Juncus cf conglomeratus
I mean the hyaline spores with 7-8 septa, surrounded by a sheath. I cannot imagine such a variability?

Re : Phaeosphaeria on Juncus cf conglomeratus
I talked about the one with brown ascospores. For the one with hyaline ascospores (if you think it's different), see towards M. roumeguerii.
Perhaps the answers to your questions are in Leuchtmann (über Phaeosphaeria ...)

Yes, I will look in Leuchtmann later, there are lots of other records these days which want to have a name :D
If there is something more of this M. roumegueri, I will post it here ;)

Dear friend
This fungi seems to be very intersting i am working on pleosporales missing types and their phylogeny if you can send me a specimens then i can work on it and do sequecing
I look forward to hearing from you
Thanks
Hiran
