Hypoxylon petriniae ?

I'm a new member from France.
I require your advise for this sample of Hypoxylon found on a dead branch of Fraxinus.
I think to H. petriniae with these inconspicuous perithecal mouds.
Ascospores: 12-10 x 4-5 µm with double guttula in most of them.
Thanks
Thierry Blondelle

Hello Thierry,
can you tell us which color the pigment extracted with 10% KOH has?

Re : Hypoxylon petriniae ?
Hi Thierry,
you are likely right, but H. petriniae may be highly variable in colour and external appearence, making its identification sometimes challenging.
A good discriminating character from other species with orange pigments is the relatively weak thickness of the stromata, rarely over 0.5 mm thick, combined ith the small diameter of perithecia, mostly 0.3-0.4 mm diam.
Cheers,
Jacques
