Hello Maurice!

Those asci and spores irresistably look like Hypocrea! Could you check the sections of the fruitbodies for perithecia?

Cheers,
Neven

Really looks like Hypocrea, very interesting.

hello neven and björn

sorry i cannot check  the sections of the fruitbodies because i do not see perithecia
If you are interested by this specie i  can send you one .

Hi Maurice,

If this fungus really posses such asci and ascospores in a hymenial layer on the upper surface of each fruitbody, then it would be very intriguing case! Therefore, you can send few fruitbodies still attached to a small fragment of its substrate placed in firmly closed flat plastic box with enough humidity but not wet. You can use slightly moistened paper handherchief placed at the bottom of the box and fruitbodies should be covered with one or few dried leaves or some moss. Please send by registered post, NOT by courrier companies (such as DHL, Feddex, etc.) as a plain shippment

I will e-mail you the address right away.

However, if this material turn to be an Hypocrea - than I cannot promise the species identity as I am not specialist in this tough genus!

Cheers,
Neven

bonsoir
le mieux serait de l'envoyer à notre modérateur Christian Lechat, le plus apte à traiter des hypocréales en territoire français.
