| Date | 3 July 2010 |
| Associated organism | Convolvulus arvensis |
| OS grid ref | OSGR: SY67 |
| Lat/Lon | 50° 30’ N, 2° 30’ W |
| Vice County | Dorset, VC no: 9 |
| Country | England |
Notes:
Collected as a pollen sample from anthers of Field Bindweed, Convolvulus arvensis.
Conidia 9-13(16)/4.5-5(6)µm, with marked attachment scar, not staining at all well in Safranin (while I thought they were pollen!), but staining normally for fungus spores in Lactophenol Cotton Blue.
The sample was collected in the early evening from several flowers found in a small area. There was no pollen, only smut spores. It appears that infected flowers remain open after uninfected flowers have closed for the night.
