Specimen notes
Public Note:
[NS] Clustered blobs on beech branch. Blobs 1 x 1 mm to 7 x 20 mm across, ~1 mm high, rubbery-jelly texture, [JAC] a mass of hyaline conidia 50 x 3um, sporodochial and presumably phialidic given the slime, but hard to see details. Hyphae not clamped and rarely (if at all) septate. So this isn't the Hormomyces state of a Tremella or Cerinosterus state of Dacrymyces. Both those have a quite distinct monilioid micro-structure. I'd guess this is Hypocrealean asco and possibly parasitic on a black pyreno on the bark. [JAC] It turns out that what I thought were long thin conidia are actually deciduous basidia and the spores form on them, like basidiospores on a rust teleospore. This is a Mycogloea and there seem to be more than one pink one and parasitic on pyrenos.
