      Hello all

      I have recently been in e-communication with Zotto Baral on a number of issues one of them concerning the genus Ascocoryne on which he has been working, incorporating sequencing information; apparently there are 15 species worldwide. Regarding A. cylichnium . He writes:

      “It turned out that there exist two similar species, one with croziers and one without. The latter I call A. deuncinata and it seems at least as frequent as cylichnium. Maybe even the type of cylichnium is without croziers – who knows.” *

      Accordingly it will be worthwhile when collecting this “species” to try and ascertain this character. While it is often a bit tricky to decide on the presence or absence of croziers I would imagine Ascocoryne would be one of the more straightforward genera.

      On the subject of the Tulasne brothers I shall post something of interest on the “Resources” thread

        Cripes – the plot thickens. So how many species are we looking at in the UK mate – A. sarcoides, A. cylichnium, A. deuncinata – any more we need be wary of please.

        Thanks mate
