This is a quite common species on Nothofagus wood
I believe I may have found the first collection of Glyphium schizosporum since 1964, and the first ever in the American Southwest (Albuquerque, NM). As far as I can tell, neither the type material nor any authoritative collection of this sp. has ever been sequenced prior to this collection:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/230681031
The four previous collections I'm aware of are these:
https://www.mycoportal.org/portal/collections/individual/index.php?occid=3273259&clid=0
https://www.mycoportal.org/portal/collections/individual/index.php?occid=1581396&clid=0
plus the Algerian type and another collection from France, mentioned in:
Zogg H. Die Hysteriaceae s. str. und Lophiaceae, unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der mitteleuro-päischen Formen. Beiträge zur Kryptogamenflora der Schweiz, Band. 1962;11:1–190.
and in:
Sutton BC. Glyphium leptothecium (Earle) comb, nov. G schizosporum (Maire) Zogg, and their imperfect states. Trans Br Mycol Soc. 1970;54:255–264.
respectively.
PS: Images are available in the linked iNaturalist observation. They would be provided here as well were it not for AF's very strict image size limits. I can, however, copy the collection/annotation data from that observation:
abundant, dolobrate (= resembling the head of an axe -- new favorite vocab word), ~1mm tall
basal subtending hyphae and Peyronelia anamorph present. absurdly long spores disarticulating in absurdly long asci (up to 450µm x ~10µm)
part spores:
(18.4) 22.1 - 25.9 (28) × (2.1) 2.11 - 3 µm
Q = (7.8) 7.9 - 10.8 (12.3) ; N = 7
Me = 23.5 × 2.6 µm ; Qe = 9.2
known from high-elevation forest in North Africa, Europe, and a single collection from Mount Shasta, CA in 1950. possibly the 2nd record of this sp. in the western hemisphere (and the first in 74 years), and the 1st record in the US Southwest.
