Hemitrichia calyculata?

[diggleken]

one from today, possibly Hemitrichia calyculata, but early days yet.
Any thoughts out there on it so far?

I have it and will post changes, dehiscence etc, hopefully.
Cheers

Hi Ken,

I thought, that you have nice photos

Maybe Hemitrichia maybe Trichia decipiens. Hopefully we'll see that later.

Hi Ken,

H.calyculata is probably as good a shout as you can get at this stage of things - I've certainly seen them with that shade of pink on the sporangia.

But I can also see the possibility of T,decipiens as suggested by Marja too.

Any chance of more pics when they've matured a bit more?

PS - It's about time that you dug your microscope out of its mothballs!! - Looking at these things under the scope is very interesting. (even when you don't know what you are looking at half of the time ).

Regards,
Mike.

Ha, nice one Mike, its having the time for microscopy as much as anything - but youre right, perhaps I should manage my foray time and PC time better to accommodate it..................
They have turned a nice brown, so still waiting..... its like waiting to give birth (I gather!)
Cheers
