Bonjour à toutes et tous,Pourriez-vous me confirm
Celui-ci était en bois sous chêne. Il ressemble à Melanomma pulvis-pyrius, mais les spores sont différentes. Je crois que j'ai quelque chose qui est très difficile à nommer!
This one was on dead wood under oak. It looked like Melanomma pulvis-pyrius but the spores were different. I suspect it will be hard to name! The ascocarps were about 0.5 mm diameter, and rough like Melanomma pulvis-pyrius, but not as crowded. Asci were typically 120x10, and as far as I could make out, not blueing in Lugol. Paraphyses were hair-like. Spores were constricted at a central septum, but there was a second septum in one of the spores. Spore size was 32-35 x 6-8 um. I couldn't find a match in Ellis & Ellis or Peter Thompson.
Cordialement,

Hi Steve,
the collection reminds me of a Lophiostoma - but it is possible I am wrong.
Best regards, Lothar

Hi,
Perhaps you could compare with Amniculicola species.
Alain
That's a genus I haven't heard of, and there don't seem to be any British and Irish records, and not much on the internet too.
Cheers,
Steve
I send you documentation.
Alain
Could I have this, too?
Best regards and thanks, Lothar
