This is Neobulgaria pura variety foliacea (at least I think it is!) |

it could well be Ascotremella faginea. You should confirm microscopically. Ombrophila pura has asci which are J+ and smooth spores, Ascotremella faginea has asci J- and spores with a fine striation (needs a good optic and staining in cotton blue)
best regards,
Andreas

Thanks Andreas, I've never heard of the genus Acsotremella and it's not on Roger Phillips site, unless under an older name. I'm afraid I've chucked the fungus now, but in any case I don't think my ancient microscope with its broken condenser would have been up to the job. |

Hello,
hmmm, broken condensor doesn't sound good ....
But for the amyloidity of the ascus pore in Ombrophila and Asotremella a magnification of 400x is enough, so in this case also lower level equipement would do satisfying enough to separate these two species-
best regards,
Andreas
