Hairy black on Acer
    
                    Margot en Geert Vullings,
                02-12-2024 19:02
    
    The hairs are lighter in color towards the top and the top is rounded.
The hairs are multiseptate and double-walled.
The spores have one sept and cilia at both ends. 
Measured in water: Me = 15.6 × 2.9 µm ; Qe = 5.3
Does anyone have an idea what this could be?
Many thanks in advance,
Margot&Geert

                Probably a Dinemasporium?

                Thanks Martin, that seems to fit well.
Is it possible to come to a specie? We have no idea which species occur in the Netherlands.

                Hi,
a common species, known also from Acer, is D. decipiens. But your measurements of the conidia a far too large. Did you measure with or without the setulae?

            Re : Hairy black on Acer
                We measured the conidia without the setulae.
The setulae were measured:
(3.8) 3.9 - 5.6 (6.6) µm
N = 20
                
                
                
                
                
                            The setulae were measured:
(3.8) 3.9 - 5.6 (6.6) µm
N = 20
Me = 4.8 µm

                Re : Hairy black on Acer
                My last guess would be Pseudolachnea hispidula. The size of the conidia would fit, though more slender in Ps.h.. They are one-septate, but the setulae are shorter, 2-3µm (Sutton 1980), 1-1.2 µm (Nag Raj 1993).

                We also looked at Pseudolachnea hispidula, but it has hairs that are not septated and we found multi-septate hairs. We also did not see the white center.

                Thomas, can Phomatospora dinemasporium also occur on wood? 
Described in Ellis&Ellis this is on grasses and other plants.

                Re : Hairy black on Acer
                Hmmm,
sporodochia look quite different, conidia are more slender and non-septate and setulae this time longer...

                Thanks Martin then we will keep this one at P. hispidula.

            Re : Hairy black on Acer
                Martin, we do not know the meaning of cf, is it uncertain or it does resemble?

                Re : Hairy black on Acer
                cf. is originally the abbrevation for Latin confer = compare!.
In biology it means collectio formarum = a group of similar forms,  as a comment to the uncertain ascription to a specific species.
Both interpretations do more or less the same job...
