Hi everybody,I found this Chaetosphaeria? species on wet, decidious wood, maybe Alnus. Perithecia 0,25 mm wide, superficial, closely packed. ascospores hyaline, (20-24) 22*4,6 (4-5) µm, with high oil content, becoming 3-septate and developing sidespores (4*1,5 µm), hyaline, partly allantoid with two oil-drops, one at each end. Asci 98*7 µm, IKL negative.
Among the perethecia was an anamorph species, with long neck (up to 1450*90 µm, apikal 20 µm), which consists of long, parallel, light grey hyphae, 2,5 µm wide. The conidia are hyaline, ovoid (3-4*2 µm). Maybe the anamorph is a Hyalopycnis. I don't know, if this anamorph-type belongs to Chaetosphaeria.
Regards, Maren

Re : Chaetosphaeria sp.
This could be Chaetosphaeria pulviscula: see the key by Reblova (Studies in Mycology 45: 149-168; it's on the Internet), she has written also another paper with a detailed description and drawings of this (and other) species: see Reblova 1998, Czech Mycology 50: 161-179 (I can email you a copy, if needed).
But to be 100% sure you need the anamorph (in this case Menispora caesia).

Re : Chaetosphaeria sp.
Hi Eduard,
thank you very much, I've checked the key and the description, it might be C. pulviscula. But without the anamorph it get's a cf-mark of me.
I'm still trying to grow the Anamorph, let's see if that succeeds.
