Phaeohelotium epiphyllum (?) on Liquidambar seedpods
Ethan Crenson,
11-08-2017 16:48
I think that this is Phaeohelotium epiphyllum, but I'm not 100% positive. Collected in Staten Island, New York, on a seedpod of Liquidambar. Spores are fusoid 13-15 x 4-4.5um, with several oil droplets. Asci IKI+ Exipular tissue types globosa, intricata. Paraphyses with large oil droplets. My doubts arise from the spore size and the substrate. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Re : Phaeohelotium epiphyllum (?) on Liquidambar seedpods
I suppose you are right, the apo colour fits well, spore size may be variable. Only the paraphysis contents I know more small-multiguttulate in P. epiphyllum. These drops are not oil, they disappear when you add KOH.
