Hello Gernot and Peter,

thanks for your opinion - it is surely a strong argument if your opinion is the same :-)

In Zottos old key D. macrospora is keyed as iodine-negative - but in his folder I found a specimen "Durella macrospora IKI+", so this may be variable (?). Furthermore, the spores are a little bit small for macrospora (?). Maybe this is variable, too.

We will see if Zotto shares his opinion with you - if yes, I will be fully convinced :-)

Best regards and thanks again,

Lothar

Hello,

I found the same species today and sent Zotto a (private) mail before I looked in the forum here.

So I can add a few fotos here, though not the best quality.

Also I found an anamorph which I think belongs to this Durella, but this originated from another Fagus tre.

best regards,

Andreas

... vielen Dank, Zotto!

Ist denn dann D. "faginea" die jodpositive macrospora - oder noch was anderes?

Viele Grüße von Lothar

super - alles klar, vielen Dank!

LG Lothar
