I have what I think is an Octospora growing on moss but I am not sure how to evaluate the spores (see attached) as there are different numbers of guttules, hence wondering which species it might be.
Spores in water: 17.2-23.1 x 7.1-9.9, Q mean =2.29 (2.0-3.04 n=20)
In Eucalyptus regnans cool temperate forest, Sth Gippsland, Victoria. Australia.
Happy to show more micro if needed.
Many thanks
Peter

Re : Octospora gemmicola or?
This is Phaeohelotium baileyanum (= Helotium terrestre Berk. & Broome). Known only from Australia under Eucalyptus. But it would be good to look for the croziers because there is a more rare species without.
Not sure if my article is available online. I try to upload:
Baral H.O., Galán R., Platas G., Tena R. 2013. Phaeohelotium undulatum comb. nov. and Phaeoh. succineoguttulatum sp. nov., two segregates of the Discinella terrestris aggregate found under Eucalyptus in Spain: taxonomy, molecular biology, ecology and distribution. Mycosystema 32(3): 386–428.

Re : Octospora gemmicola or?
Hmm, this is not clear enough. It sounds like simple-septate, but I am not sure. Perhaps you can use a higher magnification and try more ascus bases? Especially young asci just during their formation are suitable for good images.

Re : Octospora gemmicola or?
A bit difficult for me trying to find the younger asci but maybe these images are ok, all in water.
Some spores from today also, if that helps.

Re : Octospora gemmicola or?
Yes, it now looks clearly like without croziers. I must correct myself. P. undulatum isn't rare, but there is only one sequence from Spain under Eucalyptus globulus. Another new sequence is from New Zealand under Kunzea with 2 % distance. So there is a wide field of research still, since there seem to exist half a dozen of very similar species.
