Hypoxylons can be difficult...Excellent work Barry. <br />Hypoxylons can be difficult to identify on the basis of macroscopic characters alone and although the host identity is useful, quite a few species grow on a number of different species. In your photo the ostioles look papillate and that suggests Hypoxylon multiforme - although it grows mainly on Birch and Alder it is found occasionally on other species. The asci of H. multiforme are relatively small (60-90 microns in length and 5-7 microns wide) compared to most of the other species in the genus, so if you have a specimen you cold check that. H. cohaerens is similar, but only grows on Beech.Charles Hipkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06830879011782542534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572836115424987671.post-23543719953024142492017-03-25T16:34:19.643+00:002017-03-25T16:34:19.643+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Gareth Farrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07103761982130970613noreply@blogger.com
