Radulomyces imposter, any ideas?

[SheffieldLass]

I'm bringing this up again, in case anyone has any ideas. It looks as if it should be a Radulomyces, but the spores are completely wrong, and they aren't alien ones, a basidium with them attached is shown.

Found in mid February, on Sorbus or cherry, maybe. Spores hyaline, curved cylindrical, 10-11.4 x 2.5-3.1um, hyphae with clamps, basidia seemed to be 2 spored.

Hi Melanie,

Give Hyphoderma radula a try.

Brilliant ..... that's made my day . I'll bet it gets misrecorded as Radulomyces, seems it is not often recorded but considered widespread.

thanks
