He encontrado esta Orbilia, pero no tengo claro si sphaerospora y subsphaerospora son la misma especie o no. La diferencia está en el tipo de células marginales? En ese caso encajaría mejor con O.subsphaerospora.
El sustrato era haya.
Gracias, un saludo
Susana

Re : Orbilia sphaerospora o subsphaerospora
Woww! This cannot be better. Everything perfect, including the angiosperm wood.
O. sphaerospora has more perfectly globose spores and completely lacks these glassy processes. We recently got a sequence of this O. subsphaerospora, and it differs sufficiently from sphaerospora.
Was this a log lying on the moist ground? Could you please send me the collection data? We have so far only records from western Spain.
The mosses might be Metzgeria and Hypnum cupressiforme.

Re : Orbilia sphaerospora o subsphaerospora
Hola Zotto, gracias.
Si, era un trozo de madera que estaba caido en el suelo, con abundante humedad.
Te mando los datos del lugar de la colecta.
Crecían junto a otra especie. No la he identificado todavía, pero creo que puede ser Proliferodiscus pulveraceus. Te mando imagen.

Re : Orbilia sphaerospora o subsphaerospora
Thanks. Yes, it looks like that Proliferodiscus. Asci should be amyloid, hairs and excipulum turning violet....
Both species are drought-tolerant, usually they grow more exposed.
Was this a pure beech forest or mixed?
