| Re: Interesting fruiting bodies growing from moss well young man you have possed a real head scratcher here. and i don't
have a clear answer.
First your excellent photo's show what looks like a tiny fungi (basidiomycete),
But there are some species we would never gess were Ascomycete's without
microscopy.
You talk of strange hypae, there is no mention of gills, cystidia, asci ect.
Now the spores are round and look somewhat ornamented, you used a pin
sized sample, I'm just wondering if maybe a myxomycete is an option.
You may like to try gently squashing a complete fruitbody and viewing at a
lower magnifycation, then it will be obvious if there is a collumela
protruding into the spore pack, or if the stange hypae are a network of
supporting material (capalitium) in the spore pack.
Fine if myxomycete is excluded by this means as at least we will narrow
the area of uncertainty.
Appologies if i've missinterpreted what you have put on here.
Cheers J.P. |
