Spheconisca confusa Norman

Syn.: Phaeomeris confusa (Norman) Clem.
Non- or doubtfully lichenised. Poorly known taxon.
Substrate: resin
Altitudinal distribution: montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies)
Note: a non-lichenised species perhaps belonging to Pleosporales, resembling S. resinae, the globose fragile ascomata containing 8-spored asci and brown ascospores with 3-7 transversal septa (to 18 µm long); on resin of conifers (e.g. Abies); rare in Europe, in the study area only known from the Eastern Alps (Austria).
