I was asked to try and identify a Glutinoglossum specimen.
The spores are between 65 and 88 with a mixture of 1-7 septa, many were 7 but less than a quarter reached that stage. Because it was dried I was unable to get a spore drop so I am not sure if many/all of the others might have matured to 7 septa.
The paraphyses were a mixture of hyaline and brown some swollen and others cylindical. One or two were "beak" shaped and one or two were contorted.
The hyphae of the stipe were also the same mixture of hyaline and brown again with some swollen and others cylindrical. They also showed signs of branching and many had outgrowths which I assume were the start of the branching process.
Could anyone suggest a name?
Thanks.
