Dear Otto, Bas, Ursula, Jahannes, Tonya and all,
Thank you very much for your help!
I tried to check up your assumptions.
I cut some seeds. Inside they have same oval cells which radially disperse from
the centre to periphery, and radial cavities between them. In my opinion, this
structure doesn't look absolutely similar to internal structures of carbonized
seeds. It is too homogeneous. But more close to a surface there is curved
(bent) small "root" (about 0.4 mm in length), which reminding primary root. It
easily drops out.
Also I have shown these objects mycologists from the Biology and Pedology
Institute. They could not identify these objects and consider that it not
sclerotia in general. I could not find out grows or not Cenococcum geophilum
in our region as anybody specially does not study it.
I would like to ask photo of Cenococcum geophilum sclerotia if somebody have
it.
Best regards and once again thanks for the help.
