Bonjour,On me fait part, pour diffusion d une list
I have found this asco two times on bark of Juniperus communis in Stange, Norway. The first time I found it on bark of a dead tree and the second time on bark of an old living tree.
Asci (142.1) 142.5 - 175.6 (188.8) × (23.3) 24.3 - 27.2 (33.4) µm; Q = (5.2) 5.6 - 6.9 (7.2) ; N = 10; Me = 166.6 × 26.2 µm ; Qe = 6.4
Ascospores, mostly 1-septate, some are 3-septate, (45.8) 48 - 57.4 (58.1) × (10.3) 10.7 - 12.6 (14) µm; Q = (3.8) 4.2 - 5 (5.6) ; N = 27; Me = 53.8 × 11.5 µm ; Qe = 4.7
I hope characters shows on the pic, if not please tell me and I will check it again.
Best wishes

Hi Per,
How is the ascomata ? Is it perithecial ? and what about the hamathecium ? Could it be interesting to compare to genus like Ostreichnion ? I think that is not very possible. But it's only an idea.
Alain
I'm novice when it comes to scientific terms (but hope I'm learning) and I hope these pic give answer to your questions.
To me it looks like it is perithecial and opens with small split. I have tried to make better picture of it. When I come to hamathecium I understand that it is the tissue between the asci?
The spores do not have a gelatinous sheet.
I have looked at Ostreichnion at http://www.eboehm.com/, but can't find any that fits.
Per
Yes, I agree, it was just an idea. I had other (not good) ideas, like Xenolophium, but not the solution.
It is a beautiful fungus.
Alain
Thank you very much for trying to help.
I too have thought about Xenolophium.
Yes, it is a nice fungus and the spores are very characteristic.
Per
Your fungus reminds me of something that I saw in literature in passing while trying to figure out another of these intactable brown-spored, single-septate, bitunicates. I can only get so far as "Dothideomycetes, Pleosporales, sp."! I will try to retrace my steps and see if I can't find what I saw in the literature.
That's great! The material is air dried, but I will try to find some more before sending it to you.
