Bonjour à toutes et tous,Pour cette récolte de 2
I found this beautiful and tiny ascomycete on Phytolacca americana.
It remember me some species of the genus Lachnellula or Capitotricha.. but it doesn't fit.
The measurements of spores ( spored ) are 25-31 x 4-4.8, whitout septa,
but some times inside the ascus they have one or three septa ( see pics ).
Ascus measurements are 85-95 x 10 µm.
The reaction hemiamiloid is positive
Any information will be welcome
Thanks.
Lachnellula is supposed to grow on conifers only, so this could be another genus. How do the paraphyses look like (live in water)? Do you have a photo of the hairs? Are they incrusted or smooth - and If incrusted, then on their whole length or is the apex smooth?
Viktorie
I send paraphyses and hairs pics.
Thanks for your responses.
