This pyrenomycete is very common on still attached branches of several trees and shrubs (Lonicera xylosteum, Rhamnus alaternus, Ligustrum, etc.) in the Botanical Garden of Gijón (Asturias, Spain).The globose pseudothecia 0.4-0.5 mm in diameter are just inmersed under the periderm and they have a conspicuous flattened papilla. Mature golden brown dictyospores have a thin mucous sheath thickened at the ventral side and long terminal appendages.
Does anyone have any suggestions for this lophiostomataceous fungus?
Many thanks in advance
Enrique

Re : Lophiostomataceous fungus
Hi Enrique,
I'm sorry I have no idea for this distinctive species, but you might be interested that I collected something seemingly identical on woody debris from the beach (washed up by the sea) on the South Coast of England in 2016. Now I guess it came all the way from Gijón!
I was surprised that I couldn't find a suitable name but if you have any luck please let me know.
Cheers,
Nick

Hi Nick
They both look like the same mushroom. Currently our friend Angel Pintos is trying to cultivate it. I will keep you informed.
