Specimen notes
Public Note:
17th Fungal Foray of New Zealand; originally deposited as Niesslia (?) and then changed to Trichosphaeria. This distinctive species may exist among the many species of Trichosphaeria but has likely been transferred to another genus. Worth noting are Sabine Huhndorf\lquotes comments after she had seen Dan\lquotes slides at the Teapot Valley Foray, May 2004 \endash She thought the specimens might be found in the genus Annulatascus (see Hyde et al.) and she also suggested that we keep our eyes open for a forthcoming article in MYCOLOGIA (on large-ringed taxa) by Shearer & Campbell.
Perithecium black, roughened, strongly setose, with a large prominent very blunt ostiole (our original description says \rquotepig nose like\lquote). Setae brown, septate, numerous. Paraphyses numerous, filiform, simple, tapering apically. Asci cylindrical, thin-walled, with a large non-amyloid apical ring and 8 overlapping uniseriate ascospores. Ascospores hyaline, single-celled, fusoid-ellipsoid and tapering to narrowly rounded apices, flattened (plano-convex) in one view and symmetrically biconvex in the other, with few large (uniseriately arranged) to many (multiseriately arranged) vacuoles. Smooth in brightfield but with large longitudinal striae under phase \endash the latter may be an optical illusion. Ascospores mostly 25-26 X 7 µm.
