HelloI was trying to re-find A brantophilus and came across this second Ascobolus.
A globose apothecia 1/3 mm. The spores are 27-28.9 x 15 with a granular surface which breaks up to give a striate surface on full maturity. This seems to fit key out to Ascobolus elegans in van Brummelen. It is not a species I know of so can anyone confirm?
Thanks

Pretty find! I do not know this species but your determination seems right from your measurements. Have you also noticed the presence of fairly dark pigment at the top of paraphyses?
Michel.
