Åge OterhalsI found this pyrenomycetous fungi in mountain area
Found on deer dung, the species has two different colours, white and pale yellow. The yellow species were on top facing the light and the white were on side facing the bottom.Apothecia: gragarious to growded.
Setae: non-septated; pointed or round tip, thickwalled 4.3-4.5 um for the pointed top and 1.8-2.0 um for the round top; Pointed 353-417x23-26 um at broadest point; round 224-136x27-28 um almost the entire length: ventricose at the base.
Parafyses: hyaline, septated, simple and branched; 2.2-2.4 um
Asci: 8-spores; 149-160x16-18 um
Spores: uniseriate; 16.3-17.5x(9.9-)11.1-11.4 um, when young covered with fine wrats; surrounded by a hyaline sheath only visible in Congo Red; containing a de Bary bubble.
I hold also as Lasiobolus intermedius, however, had never seen warty spores and such with mucus cover. Bezerra et Kimbrough (1974) also write over nothing. Picture 4 and 5, could be "often collapsed at one side " (Bez. et Kimbr.) ?
Greetings Peter.
Hello PLeter,
I do not have the documentation from Bezerra et Kimbrough (1974) can you send me a copy?
For the rest the wrats were only visible with immature spores in Lugol and the sheath often contains these wrats and makes it easier to see.
It seems the sheath is also visible inside the ascus in Congo Red.
Joop
I have sent it.
Greetings Peter.
