| | | Tiny Asco's (?) on Acorn (Maybe).
Found these today, not much idea really, but thinking along the lines of a possible Hymenoscyphus?
I'm not certain but I think they are growing on a remnant of acorn. (or maybe an hazelnut). 
Any thoughts on ID much appreciated.
Regards,
Mike. |

Hi
I think you ar correct with Hymenocyphus. Hymenoscyphus fructigenus is common on Hazel nuts and Oak cupuules.

Peter | Thanks Peter. H.fructigenus was the one I had considered, but didn't dare to commit.
(As there are usually several very similar contenders with these micro's  ).

Regards,
Mike. | I think you are pretty safe there Mike - confusion arose in the past because similar asco's on beech cupules were also called H. fructigenus*, whereas they should be assigned to either H. fagineus or H. rokebyensis *a search of FRDBI, for example brings up 185 records of H. fructigenus on Fagus - sadly all to be disregarded unless voucher material exists . . .
cheers
Chris
