BlakeneyDvinealisfungi090123-1

A small fungus found in the leaf axils of Soft-tufted Beard-moss (Didymodon vinealis)?

Leaves adpressed to the stem when dry.

Taken with a x10 microscope objective


Looking at the Bryophilous Fungi Website

This is likely to be

Bryostroma trichostomi

George R L Greiff replied via Twitter

Almost certainly :) There are couple of other Bryostroma species that
can grow on Didymodon so it's worth checking spores.
95% of the time for me it is B. trichostomi.


I don't think I'm up to this challenge.

Any oneelse - Stuart?

This was later confirmed by George and was a first for Norfolk
