Hairy black on Acer
Margot en Geert Vullings, 02-12-2024 19:02
On a fallen branch, probably Acer, we found these black hairy balls, size 0.2 mm.
The hairs are lighter in color towards the top and the top is rounded.
The hairs are multiseptate and double-walled.

The spores have one sept and cilia at both ends. 

Measured in water: Me = 15.6 × 2.9 µm ; Qe = 5.3

Does anyone have an idea what this could be?
Many thanks in advance,
Margot&Geert

Probably a Dinemasporium?

Re : Hairy black on Acer
Thanks Martin, that seems to fit well.
Is it possible to come to a specie? We have no idea which species occur in the Netherlands.

Re : Hairy black on Acer
Hi,

a common species, known also from Acer, is D. decipiens. But your measurements of the conidia a far too large. Did you measure with or without the setulae?

Re : Hairy black on Acer
We measured the conidia without the setulae.
The setulae were measured:
(3.8) 3.9 - 5.6 (6.6) µm
N = 20

Me = 4.8 µm

Re : Hairy black on Acer
My last guess would be Pseudolachnea hispidula. The size of the conidia would fit, though more slender in Ps.h.. They are one-septate, but the setulae are shorter, 2-3µm (Sutton 1980), 1-1.2 µm (Nag Raj 1993).
Margot en Geert Vullings, 04-12-2024 10:53
Re : Hairy black on Acer
We also looked at Pseudolachnea hispidula, but it has hairs that are not septated and we found multi-septate hairs. We also did not see the white center.

Re : Hairy black on Acer
Thomas, can Phomatospora dinemasporium also occur on wood? 

Described in Ellis&Ellis this is on grasses and other plants.

Kind regards, Margot&Geert

Re : Hairy black on Acer
Hmmm,

sporodochia look quite different, conidia are more slender and non-septate and setulae this time longer...
Margot en Geert Vullings, 05-12-2024 17:30
Re : Hairy black on Acer
Thanks Martin then we will keep this one at P. hispidula.

Kind regards, Margot&Geert

Re : Hairy black on Acer
make it cf....
Margot en Geert Vullings, 06-12-2024 13:35
Re : Hairy black on Acer
Martin, we do not know the meaning of cf, is it uncertain or it does resemble?

Kind regards, Margot&Geert

Re : Hairy black on Acer
cf. is originally the abbrevation for Latin confer = compare!.

In biology it means collectio formarum = a group of similar forms, as a comment to the uncertain ascription to a specific species.

Both interpretations do more or less the same job...
