Hymenoscyphus fagineus question
Chris Yeates, 24-10-2012 21:19
Chris YeatesBonsoir tous

I am finding myself in the middle of a number of Hymenoscyphus species at the minute; with regard to the attached I am fairly confident that it is H. fagineus, but I do not have access to much data relating to Hymenoscyphus rokebyensis. I (and I suspect the few British mycologists who look at these things ;) ) rely on Ellis and Ellis which has the briefest of descriptions - i.e. rokebyensis has longer stems and narrower spores, and that is about it ...

as ever comments and opinions are welcome

amitiés
Chris

Bonsoir Chris

H. fagineus and H. rokebyensis are not closely related. Maybe they will stand in the future in two different genera. H. fagineus has turbinate apothecia with thick short stalks or even obconical ascomata, very much unlike yours. H. rokebyensis is similar frequent as fagineus, but has a thin cylindrical stalk of very variable length. The spores contain distinctly more oil and tend to be scutuloid similar to the closely related H. fructigenus.

H. fagineus has croziers, and H. fructigenus and allied species do not have.Also the excipulum is different, angularis in fagineus, prismatica in the other.

Hope this helps

Many thanks Zotto for that  - so is my fungus neither fagineus nor rokebyensis ?

best wishes
Chris

Re : Hymenoscyphus fagineus question
Well, my guess is rokebyensis, but I should see the spores much larger.

Re : Hymenoscyphus fagineus question
OK - I shall do more collecting on Fagus cupules, and get to grips with this one!
Does anyone have a PDF for either:
Hymenoscyphus rokebyensis (Svrcek) Matheis, Mitt. thürgau. naturf. Ges. 43: 157
or
Helotium rokebyense Svrcek, Ceská Mykol. 16: 113 (1962)?
one of the reasons I am interested is that 'Rokeby' is here in Yorkshire - (indeed one time home of: http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/diego-velazquez-the-toilet-of-venus-the-rokeby-venus) - while the site is now in Durham, we record based on historic boundaries

Re : Hymenoscyphus fagineus question
Here you have a comparison of the spores. Note the pointed lower end in rokebyensis.

Also Velenovsky confused the two.

Excellent Zotto - here is a larger image of the spores of my fungus - much closer to rokebyensis I agree

Dank wie immer

Jawohl, and you see how important the  arrangement of the droplets is.
