So sad.
Nigel was always so willing to share his knowledge and enthusiasm for plant pathogens.
A great loss to the mycological community as well as to his family.

Re: Aquatic hyphomycete
This species has just turned up again in Yorkshire. Collected from a small streamlet in the garden at RHS Harlow Carr in Harrogate last week. My photo is not particularly good but all the appendages were there!
Interestingly the species was seen in NW Portugal during work done in 2001-2002. See ...

Re: Ivy fungus
I don't think there are any reliable macro features that will separate these leaf spots. I always reach for my microscope.

Re: Taeniolella delicata LF on Lecanora hybocarpa?
Sadly there were only six records of T pertusariicola on Ophioparma by Aug 2023 (and one on Pertusaria pseudocorallina). I know it's been seen in Cumbria, Devon and three Scottish counties. But many sightings have not yet made it through to a record in the BLS database.
I'll look forward to seeing ...

T delicata has been recorded at least once in the UK on Lecanora hybocarpa in vc 11.

Re: Taeniolella delicata LF on Lecanora hybocarpa?
This looks like a good ID to me and a good find. I suspect that most people who saw this would assume that it was a random overgrowth of something not associated with the lichen and therefore ignore it.
Please note that T pertusariicola is present in the UK. Most records on Ophioparma ventosa.

Re: Mildew on Verbascum
Did you look at this microscopically? Otherwise I doubt if an ID will be possible.

Re: Leccanora cofusa pycnidia?
I'm just looking at some young, green crustose thalli. I'd describe them as 'granular' rather than sorediate. The margin has a beautiful feathery prothallus. All of the three thalli have brown imbedded pycnidia with a slightly raised thalline rim. The pycnidial walls are colourless except around the ...

Re: Erythricium aurantiacum on Physcia tenella
I've found areas of the basidima of Erythricum aurantiacum without associated bulbils before. In the case that I saw, the bulbils were on top of a decaying thallus and the basidia were under the thallus where the air would have remained more moist. Microscopy is needed to confirm.
