Found on hanging tiwg of Olea europaea in dried-ou
Dear friends,
There is one more tiny discomycete collected on thin branch. I examined this specimen in statu vivo (at least, it was not dry).
Fruitbodies light orange, stalked, disc 0,5-0,8 in diam.
Asci IKI Blue
Spores elongated, 15-19-2,7-3,7 um, sometimes 1-septate, non-guttulate or sometimes with several small guttules.
Paraphyses with many septae (or with large guttules which make impression of septae), the apical cell is often non-guttulate, but in the lower part there are many small guttules.
Also there are excipular(?) hyphae which contain some crystalline or dense substance.
Is it some species of Helotium of Phialea?
These inoperculates are really difficult(
With best wishes,
Irina
And are you sure this is a woody stem? Not herbaceous.
I can only guess for Cyathicula cyathoidea.
Phialea and Helotium are very old genera, not used anymore.
Zotto
I have 2 apothecia.
Yes, the stem is probably herbaceous.

Zotto
Zotto, sorry, but this is the only thing I see in squashed preparation and I'm not sure about gelatinous hyphae (see photo).
I re-measured spores and there is no mistake, really they are much longer than C. cyathoidea
Irina
La taille des spores est 15-20 x 3-4µm.
la couleur de l'apothecie varie de jaune pâle à orange et même rose.
Toujours sur herbacées.
Amitiés
Didier
I think that it is about crocicreas coronatum not tres typical = without teeth.
The size of spores is 15-20 x 3-4µm.
The color of the apothecie varies of light yellow in orange and even pink.
Always on herbaceous.
Best regards
Didier?
Zotto
Zotto,
Ok, I'll do it on Monday and show the photo
Irina
It's a pity, but the last fruitbody I had was infected by some mould fungus and I see mostly alien hyphae in preparation:(
By the way, I like the idea about teethless C. coronatus.
Sincerely,
Irina
