Juuso ÄikäsYesterday I found some small white Helotiales grow
While looking at a dung fungus yesterday, these 4-spored asci appeared in the preparation. I've not traced where they came from but as 4-spored asci are not that common, I wondered if anyone recognised which species produced them?
With thanks, Chris
Several species may have only 4 asci with spores. Pictured spores are ripe, but can be a Schizothecium.
Michel.
I looked at S. nanum and S. tetrasporum yesterday but the shape of the asci is wrong (more linear than mine).
The size of the asci is 33 x 23 µm.
Thanks, Chris
