But several other taxa can be very similar. For example: Jackrogersella minutella (former Hypoxylon cohaerens var. microsporum) and Jackrogersella multiformis (former Annulohypoxylon multiforme) and a few others can have similar stromatal features. Microscopy is needed for a reliable determination. Tentative field identification often relies on host. Jackrogersella minutella is restricted to Quercus and Castanea, Jackrogersella multiformis grows mostly on Betula, Alnus and Corylus and Jackrogersella cohaerens is restricted to Fagus sylvatica. However, host specificity is rarely absolute. Since no microscopy was done for this observation, the determination remains unreliable.Ref.: (1) www.123pilze.de/DreamHC/Download/ZusammenKohlebeere.htm (accessed Dec. 22. 2018)(2) pyrenomycetes.free.fr/hypoxylon/html/Hypoxylon_cohaerens.htm (accessed Dec. 22.2018)(3) M.W.Beug, A.E.

Comments: Daldinia concentrica is a quite common ascomycete, also in Slovenia. Its 'balls' are reddish or rusty-brown at first becoming black and shiny resembling charcoal. Flesh is conspicuously concentrically zoned when cut vertically. One can find it mostly on Fagus sylvatica but also on other broadleaved trees. There appears little possibility to misidentify it in Slovenia since all other species of the genus Daldinia are very rare. English vernacular name King Alfred's Cakes is based on the following legend. King Alfred was hiding in a country home during war time. Unaware of his identity, the mistress of the house put him in charge of watching the baking of the cakes in the oven. King fell asleep and the cakes burned. Daldinia concentrica apparently resembles these cakes.Growing gregariously in several groups all along the fallen branch. Tens of fruit bodies present.Ref.: (1) G.

Cosmospora coccinea Rabenh., [non Nectria coccinea (Pers.) Fr. 1849], syn.: Nectria cosmariospora Ces. & De Not.; anamorph Verticillium olivaceum W. GamsSlo.: krlatna bradavikaDat.: March 25. 2017Lat.: 46.37361 Long.: 13.79341Code: Bot_1043/2017_DSC7186Habitat: alpine Fagus sylvatica forest with some Picea abies; in shade, rather cool and humid place; locally almost flat terrain; calcareous, colluvial, stony ground; elevation 950 m, average temperature 5-7 deg C, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: heavily decayed Poliporaceae (Phellinus punctatus and Inonotus nodulosus most common at this place) on fallen off, rotten branch of Fagus sylvaticaPlace: Zadnjica valley west of Mt. Triglav, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comments: I found this ascomycete on heavily decayed pore layer of a Poliporaceae. Phellinus punctatus and Inonotus nodulosus seem most probable at this regions. First I thought I found Nectria peziza (since on polypore). However, spores proved to be too big and too tuberculate. Also perithecia seem pyriforme rather than globose and they apparently do not degrade to widely open 'peziza' type cups when old as I expected. Surprisingly I was unable to find asci? In the literature available to me I found no fit to this find. Thanks to the help obtained at AscoFrance (Ref.:1) the find was determined as Cosmospora coccinea. The fungus grows almost exclusively on Inonotus nodulosus decayed pore layer.Spores tuberculate. Dimensions: 14.3 [16.5 ; 17.6] 19.8 x 8.6 [10.2 ; 11] 12.6 microns; Q = 1.3 [1.6 ; 1.7] 1.9; N = 24; C = 95%; Me = 17 x 10.6 microns; Qe = 1.6.
