Patrice TANCHAUDBonsoir, récolte à proximité du milieu dunaire
During determination of A. Sacchariferus (photo-6) I discovered another ascobolus but instead of straight up ripe spores they were lying down horizontally. Under the microscope I revealed another bolus which I cannot determine.
The fruitbody has a width of 83.77 um and is 94.52 um high.
Asci 35.98x5.44 um containing 8 spores.
Spores: 5.02-6.03x2.96-3.50 um, containing de Bary bubble and thick walls.
These are two ways Ascobolus (large spores) and "Sordaria" minima. This is not a Sordaria but a parasitic fungus growing around Melanospora spec.

Hello Peter,
Sordaria minima should not have stiff hyaline hairs I suppose, but what is the species in photo-2 which does have hyaline stiff hairs? Spores size is the same as S. minima.
