| | | Octospora sp. ?
Found amongst ruderal plants on earth with moss. Would I be right in assuming an Octospora species? There is an obvious margin to the disc, slightly paler coloured. Outer surface is not obviously hairy, but may have areas with white or browner colouration. Larger discs about 4mm diameter. |

Ken | " pretty much same description as yours" 4mm across  ? that would make those beech leaves about a millimetre and a half long
why isn't yours Aleuria aurantiaca that has seen better days, Mike?

Proved to be Melastiza cornubiensis (= chateri). Larger discs did show the hairy rim (or those who did the identification knew what to look for better than me). |
