Hi forum, I'm now looking for another reference c
Good evening everyone,
On dung of deer I found a small Ascobolus barrel-shaped, with a light yellow colour ,asci of about 95x16µ and warted ellipsoid spores of about 24x10.5µ. A part of the excipulum had a brown colour.
Spores seemed to large for hawaiiensis. Following the key in Van Brummelen I arrived at boudieri
Marc
I think it is nearest to A. hawaiensis
I am also thinking of A.hawaiiensis.
Michel.
Hello Enrique and Michel,
The large warts are indeed an argument pro hawaiiensis, but following Doveri and Van Brummelen the spores are too large (max 20.5-21µ) and the brown excipulum should also point towards boudieri ( key Van Brummelen 1967, 67-68).
Are the warts the most important element?
