Fungi -- Identification
85(84) Spores (18)20-26 × 12-16µm, caudae of 2-several filaments
covered with granules. Asci 512-spored. Perithecia up to
1mm high × 0.95mm diam., neck with rigid but
non-agglutinated hairs up to 130µm long.
_Podospora granulostriata_
- Caudae simple, without granular appearance. Asci
128-spored. Perithecia not larger than 750µm high ×
500µm diam., with rigid, non-agglutinated hairs up
to 190µm long at neck. 86
86(85) Spores 17-19 × 10-12µm. _Podospora setosa_
- Spores 19-24 × 11-16µm. _Podospora tarvisina_
(See discussion in Lundqvist (1972) on these last three names)
87(83) Spores 24-34 × 14-19µm, caudae in two rings, one inserted
at the base of the primary appendage, the other at the
spore apex; individual filaments may be separate or
clumped to appear as a broad single appendage (cf.
_P. decipiens_/_P. pleiospora_). Perithecia ca 0.6-1.1mm
high × 0.4-0.5mm diam., covered with flexuous hairs or
rarely smooth. _Podospora myriaspora_
- Spores 15-20 × 10-15µm, caudae small, simple and
evanescent. Perithecia 0.4-0.5mm high, covered with
long flexuous hairs. _Podospora collapsa_
88(47) Spores with primary appendage. 89
- Spores without primary appendage. 93
89(88) Spores with primary appendage directed towards base of
ascus. 90
- Spores with primary appendage directed towards apex of
ascus. (_Anopodium_) 91

_C. scatigena_ and _C. hansenii_. FIG. 31. Ascospores of _C. scatigena_ (l)
and _C. ligniaria_ (r).]
90(89) Spores 34-45 × 19-25µm, without caudae but surrounded
by a thin (ca 5µm) gelatinous sheath. Perithecia ca
0.5-0.7mm diam., ± smooth. _Podospora globosa_
- Spores 17-20 × 8-9.5µm, flattened on one side, convex
on the other. Perithecia 0.3-0.45µm diam., with distal
cells of agglutinated hairs fimbriate. _Podospora fimbriata_
91(89) Perithecia hairy. Spores 27-32 × 16-19µm, appendage
15-18 × 2.5-3µm. _Anopodium ampullaceum_
- Perithecia glabrous. 92
