Genabea sphaerospora

[BKAOUNAS]

Found 24-02-09, Artemis Attiki Greece, hypogeous under of Cistus monspeliensis and Pinus halepensis. I believe that they is this type that I report. I want your which help they is something else. The provision spores in the aski does not leave a lot of margins. Other I believe that they is the immature still type because do not suit the dimensions spores neither have been shaped the exterior decor spores.

Spores 19,1-21,0*18,5-20,5 μm, Q= 1,0

[BKAOUNAS]

Asci

With Cistus too ? Tomorrow I,ve got go to see I don't know Genabea Genus: macroscopically your determination appear exact more as G.sphaerospora (ascus morphology). The odour is very important.
For the spores and spines maybe it's immature...Wait some days

Spettacolare! E' un bel ritrovamento che meriterebbe un approfondimento.

Anche se l'odore sgradevole sarebbe un elemento dirimente tra cerebriformis e spharospora penso che sia molto importante attendere la maturazione per valutare le dimensioni sporali che dovrebbero essere attualmente più vicine a cerebriformis.
Spero che tu riesca a trovarne altre.

For dimensions spores I understand. Asci of sphaerospora is ellipsoid-clavate. Asci of cerebriformis is cylindrical? Fusiform what means? The smell they is important element? I did not smell other I did not locate something annoying in the smell.
The differences that is to say they is in dimensions spores, in the form asci and in the smell. Exists also something else?
Thank you very much!!!!
