Bonsoir . Hi to all.
Pourriez vous me confirmer que Gorgoniceps micrometra correspond à cette récolte que je viens de recevoir sur Ammophila arenaria . La plus grande apothécie de la photo jointe mesure 0,25 mm.
Excipulum ectal d'hyphes parallèles septées, à parois épaisses, brun foncé, obtuses, x 2-3,5 µm. Asques non amyloïdes de 80 x8 µm, spores jusqu'à 65 x 3.
J'apprécierais aussi toute doc synthétique sur le genre Gorgonyceps.
Could you please comment the following collection which I just have received on Ammophila arenaria and tell me if G. micrometra is the most appropriate name. Ectal excip. of 2-3,5 µm dark brown hyphae with thick walls . Ascus 80x8 , IKI negative, spores multiseptate and multi vacuolated, 60-65 x 3 at largest tip.
I would also appreciate any synthetic documentation about Gorgoniceps .
Merci. Amitiés à tous . Michel

Re : Gorgoniceps sur Ammophila arenaria
Hi Michel
this is an undescribed species. Christian Scheuer knows it for a long time, and I saw also some collections. Here you can see the vital characters.
Very similar is G. micrometra, but that has filiform spores, while here we have clavate spores.
I do not think that Durella and Gorgoniceps are two genera, because Excipulum, yellow VBs and asci look very much the same.
G. micrometra was also studied by Christian but I never saw it.

Thanks very much, Zotto
Interesting find, then.
I agree, Durella species are close, also (D. ''subconnivens" especially, as represented in your dvd,)

Hi,
interesting indeed.
I like very, very much the 4. photo.
It reminds some van Gogh paintings.
Would you Michel be so kind and send me a copy of it for a start to a collection of fungal art ;)

Hi Marja,
I'm afraid it will be very very expensive and that this masterpiece might be the unique myco art image you could afford -:) , yet, ok for I recognize it's worth it !
I will come some day to make sure your hanging of it is suitable !
