Patrice TANCHAUDBonsoir, récolte à proximité du milieu dunaire
.. found at 18.2.2016 near Alte, Algarve, on a small rock in an area with limestone. I cannot identify the mosses by now but still have them with the specimen.
The spores are quite large and have a quite complete, not too high and not too wide reticulum. I am not able to identify the species with www.octospora.de, for instance.
About an hour ago I could identify L. maireana and I have three other ones left ...
Who can help me with this specimen?
Best regards from Lothar
Belles spores ! Réseaudont les côtes ne semble pas hémisphérique en coupe mais à parois plutôt verticales formant des alvéoles irréguliers à angles aigus.
Pas beaucoup d'idée

Thank you very much, Gilbert!
I think this specimen should be examined more closely. First, I have to try to identify the host moss. We will see ..
Best regards from Lothar
Hi Gilbert & forum,
there is news: the host moss ist most likely Ceratodon purpureus. I put my microscopic examination of the moss to www.nafoku.de/forum (41. in february 2017) and got the answer there.
Marcel wrote me an e-mail and found that this and the other reticulate-spored Lamprospora here have a similar ornament than L. miniata but larger spores - and that there are more specimens that can be characterized similarly ...
