Thank you Julia for your time and for sharing your expertise

Dear friends.

We have a 100% confirmation from DNA sequencing and genetic matching thanks to the assistance of Uwe Winkler and Dimar Balint. It corresponds to Cortinarius ayanamii A. Ortega, Vila, Bidaud & Llimona

Thank you Julia, investigation solved then. 😎. I have two further questions

1. Am I right to assume that it won't kill the host plant? Infection seems to be effecting only sone florets (5-20%)

2. Is the fungus 'dormant' in the host perennially and…

Thank you,

In the meantime I had a look at the spores, and they dont seem particularly interesting although i have a curiosity. The spores are globular with a preipheral rim (thick wall?) and amorphous semi-translucent bodies which I think they are…

Hi Steve,

I sent Julia a message to inform her about this thread.

Thank you Stefan for your message and moving the post. I follow this fungal pathogen as much as possible.

Is Julia on this forum or I have to email her?

Thanks

Hi, years ago I found dark rust fungal spore mass inside the inflorescences of Lygeum spartium (Esperanto grass). Some five years later I still see the same infection in the same population. I am curious to investigate. For the moment, I can share only…

Hello, Steve!

Alas, I dont have any university that would analyse my samples - at least not for free.
Although i have some samples of Pleurotus species collected myself (ostreatus, pulmonarius and cornucopiae): I won't do it. Each Sample would be…

I revisited the same population and just collected a few infected inflorescences. I post on a fresh topic in the forum. Bjorne, if you want to follow just look in the respective topic-group where I should post this again. I will have a look at the spores…

Pluteus inquilinus - Funghi Non Commestibili o Sospetti - Funghi in Italia - Fiori in Italia - Forum Micologia e Botanica



Inquilinus seems to be a more petite fungus with…

I am convinced that it is a washed-out melantina. Thanks a lot for your replies!

Dear friends, sorry for the late reply. I was inquiring and researching the possibilities based on your kind answers. I have found a closely related species of P. inquilinus which often grows on oak forests, hence a pale form of P. plautus. Could this…

This is also valid for terrestrial orchids! Very nice quote from the mycologist.

If you want this sample and other samples from Malta and sometimes Finland - I will help

Hallo,

schön, dass ihr so gut englisch könnt.

Es gab mal den Spruch eines erfahrenen Mykologen (der auch die Veröffentlichung von HILBER kannte): "Jeder, der neue Arten beschreibt, sollte vorher gezwungen werden, 1 Jahr in einer…

Not being any mushrooms around, I am trying to re-investigate old collections. I have found this collection in an oak forest (Quercus ilex) which is beige, medium-small (8cm long, pileus 4.5 cm wide). It had a fragile stipe but I don't think it is a…

Hi dear friends,


I. wanted to chare this beautiful species and confirm if it is Helvella leucomelanea.

Well done Claudia and many thanks for this forum members and respondents - I am learning a lot!

Hallo Claudia,

schaut gut aus, gratuliere! Sehr seltene Art!

Zur Sicherheit bei Rötling aber immer noch die Schnallenverhältnisse checken!

beste Grüße,
Andreas
