Nemania with spores with no germ slit

Cher amis du Forum:Cette Nemania a des estromes jusqu'a 20 x 5 mm, avec des peritheces jusqu'a 600 microns de longitude. Les asques sont IKI et Melzer bleu et elles ont jusqu'a 167 x 7 avec la pars sporifera de 75-85 microns. Perithecial mounds inconspicuous and ostioles papillate.
Mais je ne ai pas été capable de voir aucun fente germinatif ni sur le material frais ni sur l'exsiccatum.
Je pense qu'elle peut etre du complex Memania serpens, peut etre Nemania serpens var. colliculosa.
Les estromes on eté recoltés sur Betula alba wood á 1600 m d'altitude.
Quel est votre opinion?
Merci en avancé
Enrique

Re : Nemania with spores with no germ slit
Hola Enrique,
I think you are indeed dealing with N. colliculosa. The germ slit is a bit more conspicuous than in N. serpens but it is most often difficult to make out. Try to make a very thin slide mounted in 10% KOH and if you are fortunate you will get it.
Good luck!
Jacques

Re : Nemania with spores with no germ slit
Thank you ,Jacques. I am not a man of luck because no results in KOH!
Is it Nemania colliculosa a good seggregate species actually?

yes, according to Granmo, Laessoe & Schumacher, 1999, Sommerfeltia 27

Re : Nemania with spores with no germ slit
Bonsoir les amis,
Dis Jacques, je crois que tu m'avais soufflé (lors de ma première récolte sur Buxus) que coliculosa possède un stroma moins dur, moins "carbonacé" que le type serpens. Est-ce un critère fiable que Enrique peut vérifier ?

Re : Nemania with spores with no germ slit
as pointed out by Alain the stromata of N. colliculosa are indeed less carbonaceous than those of N. serpens but this is a matter of more or less, sometimes difficult to evaluate unless you have both species at hand for comparison. Maybe it will help Enrique....
