Re : Pyrenomycetous fungi on dead Juniperus twig
Hi Enrique,
The spores fits with the lower range reported for Melanomma pulvis-pyrius, however, this species is only reported on broadleaved trees. In addition, the perithecia should have a more irregulary angular surface. My collect is found on Juniperus and have a smooth surface. M. juniperinum reported on conifers have somewhat lager 4-5 septate spores. Would you accept this as M. pulvis-pyrius despite the above deviations?
Regards,
Åge
