Biscogniauxia nummularia (Bull.) KunzeBeech Tarerust, DE: Rotbuchen- Rindenkugelpilz, Mnzenfrmige Rindenkugelpilz, Pfennig-KohlenkrusteSlo.: noviasta skorjederkaDat.: March 2. 2016Lat.: 46.34040 Long.: 13.69445 Code: Bot_935/2016_DSC0440Habitat: 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.Place: Vrsnik valley, next to the trail from 'Pod Vriem' place to settlement 'Na skali', just below the chapel of Marija Snena, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC. 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. Perithecia have in average 0.7 x 0.55 mm in diameter.Spores smooth, dark.
