I have found this orbilia on a dead tree Beach. I do not have any key to determinate this kind.
the spores 7,5-12 x 2,5-4,5 um
Can anybody help me with this one?

Free spores are often sparse in Orbilia. Perhaps you will find a few or you see their shape inside the asci.

In Orbilia you may measure spores inside the asci, their size will be quite the same as outside. It is a fairy tale that free spores are more mature than those inside asci. The reverse may be true because you can frequently find overmature and germinating spores inside dead asci.
Thank You for explaining.
I have found the smal ones. Not in the asci, i could not see the shape of them.
Could it be Orbilia delicatula?
There are two drops in the end and they are a bite moonlike shaped.
There were slimemolds in between them. maybe that explains the other spores.
I hope this helps.

Yes, O. delicatula, but we returned now  to the older name O. xanthostigma.
Is this collection from Netherlands, and from which region?
I would love to learn more About Orbilia's . Is there a book where I can learn more about this species.
I also read you mentioned there is a dvd? Do you know about is and where I could buy this?
Thank you for helping me out.

You can visit my homepage invivoveritas.de, and there look for the many folders within Orbilia, totally almost 500 species.

good luck!
