strange pyrenomycete on Rhododendron twigs

Hello everybody,do not worry about the Lasionectria, I will make some sections tomorrow because I did not have the time for it today.
I had to look for something else growing on attached Rhododendron twigs. It has very small perithecia about 0,2-0,4 mm, which remind me on Cryptosporella species. It seems to be characteristic with its allantoid, diatrype-like but hyaline spores, lying in biseriate asci. First I thought the perithecia are immature because I had seen only very prominent paraphyses as you can see on the photos. But than I saw small asci between them, with even smaller spores inside.
I did not see any apical structures of the asci and the spores seem to be non-septate. There is no reaction with Barals/Lugol.
Any idea?
regards,
björn

Re : strange pyrenomycete on Rhododendron twigs
Hello Bjorn:
You're fungus looks like it might be in the Calosphaeriales, possibly Jattaea microtheca (Cooke & Ellis) Berl. It usually occurs on decorticated wood of various hardwoods.
A good place to start is Barr, M.E., 1985. Notes on the Calosphaeriales, Mycologia 77:549-565.
Good luck.

Re : strange pyrenomycete on Rhododendron twigs
good guess Adrian, I think you are right.
There is a recent and excellent account on Jattaea in Fungal Diversity 49: 167-198 (2011) by Martina Réblova.
Bjorn, you should check whether perithecia have a long neck or are just papillate. If there is no long neck it should be J. microtheca.
Cheers,
Jacques

Thank you, Jacques. I didn't know about the Reblova reference.

Re : strange pyrenomycete on Rhododendron twigs
Ha I love you Adrian, thats fantastic. Well there was no neck, there was not even a papilla, the perithecia grew directly under the bark, but they did not break through it.
I have to work now :D
And of course many thanks for the information, Jacques :)
