        Hi Peter

        worth popping this on ASCOFrance methinks; for an ID it’s best to also have mature spores, ejected without pressure (spores still in asci may not be typical), and to make 100% there is no spore ornamentation (oil imm. + cotton blue).

        looks interesting

        Cheers

        Chris
