Re : Tatraea sp. on indet. hardwood - 303452087
Blast gives with 96% numerous T. macrospora, so seems to be a different species.
Would be good to give a spore size. If the scale is 10 µm then the spores measure only
sp. 15-19 x 3-3.8 µm

Thank you, Zotto. We are provisionally calling this a sp. nov., for now, pending further review.
