It has very small spores, something like 3-5x1 and the asci are about 20-35x3.
The hairs are blunt about 25-50x2-3.
I hope, that the Hyaloscypha-specialist gets his name to a new species,

From Marja (berry in english like Vaccinums) with high hopes :)

Hi Marja

new species should urgently be described in detail in the living state. Simply making a rich voucher specimen is not sufficient. The diagnosis should well allow to recognuze the species and the differences to close ones. Otherwise later workers will need to reexamine the type and clarify whether the species is a good. one.

For suc reason I had even to travel to Uppsala in ordert to find out what O. coccinella originally was...

Hello Zotto,

I think, that Seppo will do what he can and what is needed.
He just can't get a rich nor fresh specimen. This fruits when he's spending his well earned holidays and I can't keep them fresh very long. So dry sample is all I can do. My loaned microscope or camera are not very good for as tiny facilities as this has. So I can't provide him all the needed living state facts. I haven't been good or lucky enough to find these in any other place besides the very limited one where I found these this and last summer.

Forgive me, but I really am just a green beginner and don't know what is needed to describe new species, My education, knowledge, experience, sources, equipments and connections are still of other fields or very low, poor or few, but hopefully growing given some time.

I'm very lucky to have these websides, where I learn so much and can get opinions and advice from more experienced mycologists . Naturally I don't include myself to mycologists, just has this odd hobby ;)
