asco with spore-clusters
Ida Bruggeman, 29-01-2014 13:08
Growing on populus-twig. Small asco without definite shape, composed of loose tissue of branches verical hyphae, no specialized paraphyses seen, asci 2-rooted, 73-80 X 16 um; spores: probably at first 8 globose spores, mature spores many more than 8, possibly slightly amyloid, after dehiscence cohering, eventually breakig up in small globules, probably with gelatinous walls, aseptate, mature spores ca, 9.5 X 5 um

Re : asco with spores clusters on twig
Probably a Dipodascus species.

Re : asco with spores clusters on twig
I forgot to mention that I have even wondered whether perhaps this is no ascomycete, greeting, Ida

Sorry I did not see that there is a reply.Thanks I am going to investigate this,

Re : asco with spore-clusters
I went through the descriptions of the species of this genus in Mycobank. It seems that my specimen is close to D. armillaria, australiensis and D. geniculatus, but differs from these and all other species (of which descriptions were available) in the large asci: 44-80 x 16-24 um and the larger spores: 8-10.5 x 3,5 -6 um.
From the description I learned that those things that I had considered a imperfect parasite are indeed the anamorf, and that my specimens produces plenty of arthrospores and a few chlamydospores.
All description on Mycobank are from cultures and I wonder whether the size of asci and spores can be different in cultures from in nature. Does anyone know?

Re : asco with spore-clusters
The size of the asci is iindeed quite variable. An accurate identification will not be possiible wiithout a pure culture. You will find the necessary information in Studies in Mycology vol. 29 and vol. 50: 489-515, 2004. Freely available for download.

Re : asco with spore-clusters
Thanks a lot for the literature. As far as I can see it could be either D. aggregatus or D. australiensis.
It differs, however, from both in the much larger number of spores 100 (estimated) versus 20-30/ ascus, the wider asci (16-24 µm versus 6-11) and  the narrower spores (Q 2.0-2.8 versus ca. 1.2-1.3 and ca. 1.5-1.6).
