Nectria on Diatrypella quercina
Jenny Seawright,
12-04-2015 21:50
Hello all, Back in the Nectria minefield but hoping that the host might narrow the possibilities a bit. The only possibility in Ellis seems to be Nectria magnusiana but .......!
On Diatrypella quercina - orange-red to red perithecia collapsing inward when old, the apices pointed and slightly darker. I couldn't manage a section of a perithecium but the spores were warted, hyaline, 0-1 septate, 12-15 x 5-6(7) µm.
Peridium: Aqua + KoH = purple, aqua + Cotton Blue in Lactophenol = yellow.
With regards,
Jenny

Re : Nectria on Diatrypella quercina
Hi Jenny,
I would call this collection Cosmospora sp., there may be several species growing on dead Diatrype / Diatrypella (e.g. Cosmospora diatrypicola), but its always not easy with this genus.

Re : Nectria on Diatrypella quercina
I think Björn has put the situation well - I have had to rename a lot of my collections on Diatrypella as "Cosmospora sp." It would be fascinating to see how mycologists in a hundred years time view our struggles with these brightly coloured and attractive (but difficult) fungi. They will probably be able to sequence their finds in the field with ease . . . .

Re : Nectria on Diatrypella quercina
Thank you Bjorn and Chris - must remember to walk past the next Nectria with eyes carefully averted!
"Yes, like action heroes with special black-rimmed glasses, showing all genetical details on a display..."
Can just imagine that!

Yes, it is difficult,
what is your opinion of Dialonectria (D. cf episphaeria),
in spite of its strange appearance. Regards

Re : Nectria on Diatrypella quercina
Hi Jenny,
Your fungus can't be the genus Cosmospora because its asexual state is fusarium-like, this genus is restricted to the species with acremonoium-like or verticillium-like.
Molecular data of the pecies occuring on Diatrypella quercina indicate that is the genus Dialonectria and it would be necessary to name it Dialonecria magnusiana or Fusarium!!

Christian

Re : Nectria on Diatrypella quercina
Thank you Dimitar for re-activating my query, and even bigger thanks to Christian for confirming my initial tentative identification and providing the most recent name.
With regards,
