Bonjour,C'est mon premier message sur le forum. J'ai fait cette observation le 11 avril dernier. En utilisant la clé de Korf (1951), j'arrive à Arachnopeziza trabinelloides. Je n'ai jamais observé de spores à 2 ou 3 septa comme chez A. cornuta. Qu'en pensez-vous? Merci beaucoup pour votre aide!
Cordialement
Arold

I think you are right with your idea. Only your photos are very small (did you use oil immersion?), so difficult to interpret. I assume you reduced them?

Which part of the specimen do you need to see? I can take some bigger pictures (but maximum on this forum is 150 ko, so yes, I reduced them...).
I have a second question. Do you know if A. trabinelloides have ever been observed in Quebec or Canada? I know it was reported in USA (West Virginia, New York, Massachussettes and Vermont).
And if you want a specimen, it will be a pleasure to send it to you.
Thanks!
Yes, Jules Cimon collected it in 2009, probably around Quebec, maybe it was in this forum (my search option does not work).
Important would be especially the spores mounted in water. The septum is usually well visible in living spores, and also the oil content is important.
I do not believe the restriction, I have no problems to upload larger images. At least when you compress them. or you could cut out elements and present in larger resolution.

Jules Cimon collected Arachnopeziza cornuta, which have 1-3 septa.

I look a dozen of apothecia on my specimen and it's always 1 (sometimes 0) septa.
Thanks!
