After checking Gminder and Otto's library I cannot
I have found hypocrea peltata in Florida and Louisiana a number of years ago. Perhaps 10 years ago I was shown a collection of Hypocrea mesenterica. From memory if the identifications were correct they looked very similar. I have a collection of a Hypocrea from Western Pennsylvania, collected on 9/27/2012. The dried material is about 6cm across X 3cm and about 2 cm in height. It looks to be one of them. I have 2 papers on Hypocrea peltata but I could not locate one on H. mesenterica. Is it possiable to tell these 2 apart just using a microscope? I would like work on it this week. Anyone know the spore sizes for Hypocrea mesenterica?
Thank you,
John
H. mesenterica is a synonym of H. peltata according to
Gary J. Samuels and Adnan Ismaiel 2011. Hypocrea peltata: a mycological Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde? Mycologia 103: 616-630.
