Hello,I found this Ascobolus on horse dung yesterd
This week I received, by email, four photos of a find on a lichen (Xanthoria parietina). The round conidia (?) have a diameter of 11 to 13 µm. I myself have too little knowledge of lichens or zygomycota. Can someone put my friend on the right track for determination of this brown anamorph? I think the marked areas on photo 03 and 05 are contamination (maybe Trematosphaeria wegeliniana).
Any hints are welcome, thank you very much,
Francois Bartholomeeusen

Saludos cordiales
Thank you both for your incredibly quick response and wonderful pointers to a solution! Xanthoriicola physciae has conidia with a diameter of about 5 µm (for this find that's +/- 12 µm) and the appearance of the fungus is too different from the linchenicolous fungi you suggest. I myself do not have the find in my possession. It seems best to give the solutions, offered by you, to the finder so he can better judge the material.
I will report any reaction from the finder on the forum.
Your cooperation is heartwarming, thank you both again!
François
