Hey

Since there aren't images available you'll need to go by deduction. Following the phylogeny of the species you get that the fungus is a basiomycete, so you'll need to get samples from the basidiocarp

Hi Andrea

A good person to contact who may also be able to help you with question in Jan Dijksterhuis at the CBA, Utrecht, Netherlands.

with regards

John

Thank you John and Rui for the suggestions

Have you tried index fungorum or looked at monographs of conidial taxa? This may have information that could render valuable insight of the structure of the spores Tricholosporum cossonianum

Thank you Omorefosa, I'll try index fungorum

Hello,

Maybe you can access the original description of Tricholoma cossonianum (Bull. Soc. Mycol. Fr. 40(4): 300). If possible take also a look at the plate XXI included by Maire et al., has a small picture of a few spores.

More interesting in order to have an idea of the shape of spores is the article with the recombination by Pierre Arthur Moreau & Marco Contú (Bull. FAMM 32). In page 46 of this bulletin is included a microscopic table with spores and other microscopical elements.

Most of the photos are included in the web page of FAMM, unfortunately page 46 with microscopic features is not included, as they seem to link only photos:

Santiago solved my problem, many many thanks.

I wish you a nice weekend.

Thank'you Vladimir

www.funghiemicologia.com is our forum.

We needed the image of the spores to confirm our identification of Tricholoma cossonianum.
