Octospora species
Ralph Vandiest,
04-01-2014 22:22
I found this species between mosses that where growing on concrete. Size 2mm. I first thought of Octospora musci-muralis but I only found spores with 1 large drop and several smaller ones. Spores measure 21/23x9/10µm. Q>2. Paraphyses with swollen apex up to 8µm. J-
Can anybody tell me which species this is...
PS I don't know much about mosses so I don't know the name of the host
Thx
Ralph

Re : Octospora species
hello Ralph,
it looks like O. gemmicola. This species has somewhat narrower spores than O. leucoloma (19-23 x 8.5-10.5 vs. 20-24 x 10-12 µm. Host probably is Bryum dichotomum (rhizoid gemmae should be absent).
with best wishes
