Hi Joop,

without asci I would think of an anamorph :-)

I am not very good (better say bad) in anamorphs, but this reminds me a little of Volutella. Surely there will be a more competent answer later.

I do have photos of Volutella ciliata but fruitbody looks different and spore size is smaller and only contains 1 oildrop (4.8-5.5x2.65-2.75 um).
The underside does not colour orange as the previous one.
Hairs septated, thickwalled 9.1-9.35 um wide, wall 1.3-2.0 um.
I it possible that the previous one is an anamorph also.

I never said it would be V. ciliata (I know it isn`t), and I do not at all insist in Volutella. I only told you that it reminds me of species of this (form)-genus. This is still the case :-)

"I it possible that the previous one is an anamorph also" -

I would say it is more than possible :-)

I only wanted to show you the difference but you made your point Lothar thanks.

Hi Joop,
Lothar is right, your fungus  belongs the genus Volutella, all characteristics that you give fit well with this genus.

Christian

Hi Joop
Following Lothar and Christian's comments, the conidial size fits well for Volutella ciliata:
"(conidia 4.5-6.5 x 2-3 µm)" from Seifert, Kendrick and Murase "A Key to Hyphomycetes on Dung" (1983). I see it quite often on dung cultures . . .

Chris

Good evening and thank you to you all, I've already found several times this Hyphomycete, but not quite sure of the determination.

Michel.

I found an article about Volutellonectria with Volutella anamorphs. I agree with Chris that this should be V. ciliata looking at the photos in the article. But what I thought to be V. ciliata can be V. asiana in my opinion. All Volutella anamorphs for Volutellonectria do have salmon-coloured sporodochia like with my first finding.

And by the way Chris can you send me the article of Seifert, Kendrick and Murase?

Hi Chris

If you have Seifert, Kendrick and Murase "A Key to Hyphomycetes on Dung" (1983) as a pdf, I would appreciate a copy too.

Regards, Chris

I would be interested in both articles, too :-)

Hello Lothar,

 

Maybe this article is also interesting:

thank you very much, Joopf!
