Sordariomycetes

Slo.: noviasta skorjederka - mixed wood, Fagus sylvatica, Picea abies and Ostrya carpinifolia dominant trees; steep mountain slope, south aspect; shallow, skeletal, calcareous ground; dry and sunny place; exposed to direct rain; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 6-8 deg C, elevation 880 m (2.900 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: dead, rotten but still standing Fagus sylvatica trunk and branches mostly still in bark.Comments: Biscogniauxia nummularia is a common fungus in beech and mixed woods of the Upper Soa River region. It can be recognized by more or less round, but many times also confluent and irregular shape, (almost) black spots on rotting trunks and fallen branches of Fagus sylvatica. Spots are flat, not cushion like. Ostioles are rather small and inconspicuous. Spots of this observation were from about 5 mm in diameter to 10 x 2.5 cm large patches and about 1 mm thick.

Slo.: brezova predirnica - syn.: Sphaeria favacea Fr., Diatrype favacea Fr., Microstoma favaceum (Fr.) Auersw., Diatrypella verruciformis (Ehrh.) Nke. - Habitat: Light wood and bushes on the edge of a small alpine pasture, moderately inclined mountain slope, southeast aspect; shallow, skeletal, colluvial, calcareous ground; mostly sunny, exposed to direct rain, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 615 m (2.020 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: Dead, still standing, almost horizontally positioned branch of Corylus avellana. Comments: Taxonomy of genus Diatrypella is not yet settled on species level, even not on genus level. Consequently the descriptions in literature of the habit and host(s) of the species under the name Diatrypella favacea vary widely. There are mainly two approaches; 'lumpers' consider Diatrypella favacea in broader sense and consider different spore sizes of finds on different hosts as insignificant, while 'splitters' find these differences significant (among other traits) and recognize several host specific species. According to them this find would clearly be Diatrypella verruciformis (Ehrh.) Nke., which grows on Corylus sp. only. They consider Diatrypella favacea a species bound exclusively on Betula sp..
