Gernot FriebesHi,I am curious to hear your opinion on this mater
growing at moist, drying-out soil at the side of a small puddle - near Cistus species etc.Would not be spore size (without ornament only 16-18 µm) I would not at all hesitate to call this Boudiera areolata.
Do there exist also such small-spored forms?
Best regards, Lothar
thank you for your proposal. But:
B. purpurea should have an ornament of spines, not a (strong) reticulum. There spores are larger also. B. purpurea is described here:

Best regards, Lothar
(or online: https://kvmv.be/publicatie/sporen-11-4; https://kvmv.be/publicatie/sporen-11-3. )
Additionally: I have a letter from van Brummelen (1968) confirming a Flemish find of B. purpurea, but no herbarium material is available.
thank you very much for the intersting files - I did not knwo this publication(s).
Anyway, I find my spores are too small even for B. purpurea - considered that it can have a reticulate "envelope".
I am also a bit confused by the colour of "your" B. areolata. I found this species (with spores large enough) twice in my life - once in Lower Franconia (my dissertation) and once in the Black Forest, in a "Hochmoor"; both in Germany. Both fimds had a colour similar to my Portuguese find, dark red brown (moist) to almost black (dry). Maybe like this:

Compared with this your areolata looks very deviating in respect to colour.
Best regards, Lothar
Good luck with your find.
Apart from the pigmentation in the cells, there was still substance on the outside of the parafyses. That was something unknown to me and possibly just light refraction.
