      I am not sure that this is a smut but it has the “feel” of one to me. On Anthoxanthum odoratum from woodland.

      I have a very tentative id of Tilletia anthoxanthi as this is the only “likely” candidate I can find after an internet search

      I have a pressed specimen if anyone feels that they can go further with this.

      Thanks Mark Wilson

        This perhaps is an ergot infection rather than a smut. I found this specimen c 20m from the original one

          Hi

          Clearly the ergot is OK, but I suspect the other fungus is one of the common plurivorous hyphomyetes one often encounters in these circumstances – Cladosporium is always a likely culprit.
