Hi,

today I have examined my collections from a river island where also the Phaeosphaeria punctillum (see the other thread) was found. At first, I am not really sure about the substrate, I think it can be Symphoricarpos sp.

The small pseudothecia grow under the cortex and are 0,1-0,2 mm, black and sphaerical.
The spores are 21-27x7-9µm, at first with 3 septa, then with 5-7, 4. or 5. segmentation swollen and sometimes with a longitudinal septation!!, with a distinct constriction only at primary septa, without a sheath, smooth or perhaps pointed, straw coloured to brown. Asci 8spored, short stalked. Pseudoparaphyses not seen.

Perhaps someone can help me with this, especially with the substrate;))

regards,
Kazuya
