Ascomycete on Rubus.
Josep Torres, 09-11-2025 13:20
Josep TorresHello.
A tiny ascomycete, appearing as erupting grains, barely embedded in the substrate, blackish in color, sprouting sparsely but massively from decomposing soil stems of Rubus sp.
It measures only 0.4 to 0.7 mm in length, 0.3 to 0.4 mm in width, and 0.2 mm in thickness. The asci are octoporous, lacking hooklets, and exhibit a very slight amyloid reaction in a tiny apical apparatus with Melzer's reagent. This apparatus, resembling two dots, is more visible when using KOH. Interascal material appears as filiform, narrow paraphyses or pseudoparaphyses with vacuolar content.
Spores between ellipsoid and fusiform, with one more pointed end and a septum near this end, this septum being more visible using Melzer's reagent. Measurements in water of the mature spores measured within the ascus are:
(20.8) 22 - 24.5 (25) × (9.4) 9.5 - 10.6 (10.9) µm
Q = (2) 2.1 - 2.56 (2.6) ; N = 20
Me = 23.2 × 10.1 µm ; Qe = 2.3

Based on the microscopic image obtained, I think it could be the sexual or perfect form of an Apiospora, which has left me stuck on this genus and I can't think of any other possibilities.
Consulting Index Fungorum, I came across a couple of Apiospora species, likely associated with Rubus: Apiospora rubi-fruticosi and Apiospora rubi-ulmifolii. However, I haven't been able to find any information about either of them.
I'm not sure if I'm on the right track. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards.

Re : Ascomycete on Rubus.
Hi Josep.
Try Pseudomassaria sepincoliformis.
Regards

Re : Ascomycete on Rubus.
Thank you very much, Enrique.
Pseudomassaria sepincoliformis seems to be a very good option; I admit I was completely unaware of the species' existence.
Best regards.

Te he enviado bibliografía por whatsapp para que puedas comparar.

Re : Ascomycete on Rubus.
Could the host of your discovery be Rosa rather than Rubus?

Re : Ascomycete on Rubus.
Also my impression, Pseudomassaria sepincoliformis on Rosa. I suspect a rather common but overlooked fungus.

Re : Ascomycete on Rubus.
Thank you both very much. The stems are from a Rosaceae family, and it's likely, as Enrique correctly pointed out, that it was a Rosa (rose) and not a Rubus (rose) as I indicated in my message. I can't distinguish them well in the field, and I didn't pay much attention to the stems' origin, but I do remember not seeing any fruit, and if it were a Rubus, I should have seen it by now. When I return to the area, I'll be more observant to confirm the host plant's identity. Best regards.
