Hello forum members,

On October 15, 2019, I found several fruiting bodies on a heathland, which I determined on October 16, after microscopic examination, as Neottiella vivida. Two days later I repeated the examination in the hope that the spore ornamentation had improved. Instead, I found an anamorph. At first I thought of contamination but because of the presence of conidiophores this was ruled out. The, in first instance bright orange hymenium, was two days later covered with a black, powdery layer caused by the brown conidia.

Does anyone have experience with this anamorphic?

Thank you very much in advance,

François Bartholomeeusen
