Wacholder-Schildbecherling

Colpoma juniperi is an ascomycete fungus producing narrow, slit-like apothecia beneath the bark of juniper trees. It grows on dead and declining branches of Juniperus species in temperate and Mediterranean environments across Europe and western Asia. This weakly pathogenic to saprotrophic fungus decomposes dead juniper wood and bark tissue.

Eingesenkter Eichenrindenpilz

Colpoma quercinum is an ascomycete fungus producing elongated, slit-like apothecia beneath bark, splitting open at maturity. It grows on dead branches and twigs of oak trees in temperate European and North American forests. This saprotrophic and weakly parasitic fungus decomposes dead oak wood and bark tissue.
