Specimen notes
Public Note:
Sooty mold. The typical spongy mass associated with beech scale inscets. There clearly are several species present but dominated by moniloid hyphae, no large condia, but some terminal hyphae with phialides and pale brown tiny spherical condia. Ascomata plentiful, with septate ascospores (to 80 x 16) soon also producing phialidic conidia - Capnophialophora. Also present are black apothecia with immature asci glued together at apices by greenish material and a Capnocybe. I am assuming the common thing is Ophiocapnocoma batistae. The species needs transferring to Metacapnodium (M - spores shorter fusoid, ophiocapnocoma - long). I think this collection contains both Metacapnodium fraseri and Ophiocapnocoma batistae. Photos of the Metacapnodium. O. batistae spores: They are very variable insize and septation, being transversely 6-20-septate and 47-167 X 16-24 um, with one, seldom two, longitudinal septa in as few as one or two cells or in all the cells except the terminal ones. M. fraserae: Ascospores ellipsoidal, wider just above the middle, paler at the ends, 5-11 septate, very variable in size, 30-103 X 9-13.5 um.
