Hello
Is anyone able to confirm that this find was a Miladina lecithina. It was on a rotten log in a woodland stream.
The paraphyses were slightly swollen and contained orange granuals the spores were minutely warted and 22 x 12.5.

Re : Miladina lecithina
Hi Malcolm. I think so. Miladina is a very common fungus on very wet wood near the rivers.

Re : Miladina lecithina
Thanks Enrique
In the UK it is quite unusual especially in this area according to our national database.

Re : Miladina lecithina
Hello Mal,
in Czech Rep. it doesn't seem common. Although the current red list category CR is really too high and probably reflects the polluted environment in cca 1950's-1990's, it would still deserve some of the lower categories. Of course I don't know, how many people have actually searched for it specifically.
Best regards,
Viktorie

Re : Miladina lecithina
In Asturias, in the north of Spain, it is a common fungus in all the altitudinal levels except, curiously, in the mountains. And it seems to withstand well the high pollution rates of the small rivulets of the coast.

Re : Miladina lecithina
If - as I suspect this was collected in Yorkshire (or at least the North of England) then, while this teleomorph is indeed very scarce, the "Ingoldian" Actinospora megalospora state is occasional in stream foam samples.
Indeed it can hardly be missed when present as this image shows; the distance between the lowest "arm" and the right hand one is almost 350µm! Also in the photograph is a conidium of one of the smallest Ingoldian fungi, Heliscella stellata.
