Hymenoscyphus lutescens ??

Hello. I'm reading this forum for the first time and to begin I send a few photos of a specimen collected on wood of Ilex aquifolium (with mosses). Could it be Hymenoscyphus lutescens? I don´t have bibliography for this species, but I´ve read that his spores are minor that H. calyculus.

Apothecia cup shaped to disc shaped of 2 mm across, stipitate, hymenium and outer surface yellow or pale yellow.

Asci with crosiers, unitunicate-inoperculate, with blue apical ring in IKI, 115-122 x 8,5-10 µm, in water, from fresh material and 1000x.

Spores fusiform-allantoid, smooth, with guttules, 14.9 [16.3 ; 17.3] 18.7 x 4.2 [4.7 ; 5] 5.5 µm; Q = 2.8 [3.3 ; 3.6] 4.1 ; N = 20 ; C = 95%; Me = 16.82 x 4.86 ; Qe = 3.48, in water, from fresh material and 1000x.

Paraphyses cylindrical, with abundant guttules, septate under guttulated zone.

Any idea??
Thanks

Re : Hymenoscyphus lutescens ??
Hi Pablo

H. lutescens is a species of coniferous substate, I know it from cones. Your fungus has distinctly scutuloid spores (apex recognizable, with lateral protrusion), at least partly, a feature never seen in H. lutescens. Also the oil content is lower in H. lutescens.

I think it fits well in H. subferrugineus, a taxon very close to H. calyculus. A plurivorous species, especially abundant in montaneous areas.

The H. calyculus group has apothecial stipes usually longer than wide, whereas H. lutescens is a member of the H,. epiphyllus group, which has the stipe not longer than wide. How is the stipe in your specimen?

Re : Hymenoscyphus lutescens ??
Really. The stipe measures are 1,3-1,7 x 0,5-0,6 mm.
It is collected in Picos de Europa last week.
Is it possible that it grows on the wood of Ilex aquifolium?

Thanks Zotto

That is well possible. The species was recorded even on Picea, also Ribes alpinum, Fagus, Crataegus, Corylus etc.
