did you do microscopy of it? Posted 9 years ago
Did you take a sample with you? Was it on ash leave?
best regards Posted 9 years ago
They were not growing on leaves, but rather on very small twigs, as might be found at the very ends of branches (the other tiny white fungi I found that day, Calyptella capula were on the stems of leaves) . I think they were ash (Oregon ash is found here), but the forest in this area is quite mixed - birch, beech, alder, maple and others can all also be found and the duff here was very decomposed, so it would be impossible to say for sure.
If you think this is incorrect or indeterminate, I will certainly remove the ID. Posted 9 years ago, modified 9 years ago
If you add ATgmx.de to my nickname you can contact me for more information. Posted 9 years ago
This collection was made not far from yours. But this is also not H. albidus. Host and sporeshape do no fit.
I don't know a true collection of H. albidus or fraxineus from the American continent.
However, I would be eager to examine a collection of yours. Posted 9 years ago
I did read that we do not have H. faxineus here (thankfully as it kills trees!), but otherwise, though there are many species, there's very little information is available about distributions and details.
I'd be happy to package up and mail samples for you (I'll contact you directly about this). I hike a lot, so have many opportunities. If you study other small fungi, I've a good nose for finding them and they are tiny so a package could hold a few :) Posted 9 years ago, modified 9 years ago
