Specimen notes
Public Note:
Looks like a tiny Tympanella, with a stalk. what else? With DNA tube. Sequences support this being a Modicella but different to M. reniformis and malleola. Morphologically it is nearer to M. malleola. Thaxter was sent material of (probably) this from NZ by Lloyd (Thaxter 5215, Jame Mitchell, 1921) and he commented on it having larger sporocarps, up to 120um and average of 80-85um wheras he reports 55-75um average with none of over 100um for california and european material. Gerdemann and Trappe considered malleola to have sporocarps up to 118um, measurements presumaby from the quoted US material. In this specimen average is 90um. So sporangia size does not differentiate this from M. malleola, but phylogenetically it is a different species, and is perhaps a little larger in all dimensions.
