Mick PeerdemanHi all,One of my earliest microscopy attempts, so
Hi - I recently sequenced one of my collections from a cloud forest in Veracruz, Mexico. I haven't done any microscopy yet, but I can.
I was surprised to see that there were no close matches. Can anyone turn this ITS sequence into useful information?
Or will I have to do the micro work to figure out what this is?
I could also do LSU sequences....
The ITS sequence is:

here is a phylo-tree genarated by the Blastn of your sequence, which suggests that the closest genus to your fungus could be Phialocephala.
Regards,

Bonjour Alan,
The genus name proposed by Christian sounds fully exotic to me . I would appreciate closer macro pictures and of course also micros . According to Syllabus of Plant Families, it belongs in the Mollisiaceae families ...
Amitiés
Michel
If you have the fungus fresh, please do it in water, also if it was dried no longer than a few months ago. The spores could still be alive and then give more information.
In my Mollisia tree it falls with great distance near Barrenia and Phialocephala urceolata/Mollisia olivascens, but that could be an accident.
