Very small (~0,5 mm) white ascos, found yesterday
These very small (up 70 125 microns), superficial, blackish, roundish and pilose ascomata grew on decorticated wood of Quercus ilex. Could be Capronia pilosella/Herpotrichiella moravica with so long hairs up to 210 mic. long? Are these names synonims?
Thanks again
Hopefully this helps,
Regards, Eduard
hairs/setae are not Capronia-like, but typical for Chaetosphaeria species. Are they realy belong to the fruitbodies or are they just surrounding them? I had C. pilosella many times, always with very small spores and distinct black acute setae of ~60-80µm length.

Hi Björn
Yes. the hairs undoubtedly belong to the ascomata. And yes, my older collections of Capronia pilosella have blackish, short acute setae as you say.
Thanks again
