Very small (~0,5 mm) white ascos, found yesterday
Hymenoscyphus ?

This small ascomycete was found over dry leaves of Quercus.
Small in size, about 0.2 mm in diameter. Not seen croziers.
I think it could be Hymenoscyphus but I have many doubts.
Any contribution?
Thanks, greetings

Re : Hymenoscyphus ?
It reminds me the genus Mollisina. I only know M. rubi which grows on fallen leaves of Rubus. My collection seems close to yours. The second photograph shows "hairs" on leaf, so I don't think it is Quercus... Please check that.
Did you also test the amyloid reaction of ascus ring after a mount in KOH? It should be blue.

Re : Hymenoscyphus ?
On dirait qu'il y a une réaction rouge de l'asque sur la photo 3, non ?

Re : Hymenoscyphus ?
Oui, c'est pour cela que je préconise le test avec KOH pour contrôler qu'il s'agit d'une réaction hémiamyloïde (ce que j'avais noté sur ma récolte de M. rubi).

Re : Hymenoscyphus ?
Hello again:
I've been tested KOH + IKI proposal, and indeed, the species is hemiamyloide.
With respect to the substrate, I have no doubt, is Quercus.

I can identify it as Mollisina rubi regardless of the substrate?
thank you very much.

Hi Susanna,
Your spores seems to be too big for M. rubi, I think M. acerina fits better although your asci seems a bit tall but of coarse it is a comparisation with dead material. (in my collection the ascus reaction was rb in IKI). Raitviir 2004 gives also Quercus as substrate.
cheers,
Stip

Re : Hymenoscyphus ?
Hello
I have valued the two possibilities M.acerina and M. rubi
Looking at the information available note that the size of the spores and asci overlap and I think they are not defining characters. What seems clear is that the spores to M.acerina no gutulas (= 0), while a small gutulas at both ends (= 1) are present in M.rubi.
Based on this I favor M.rubi although the substrate (deciduous trees) was more in accordance with M.acerina.
I searched the literature you mention, but not available (RAITVIIR, A. 2004. Revised synopsis of the Hyaloscyphaceae. Scripta Mycologica 20: 1-133) could send it to me?

Re : Hymenoscyphus ?
Hi Susanna,
it would not surprise me as it turns out to be one variable species, as for now I don't see any other deciding difference as the substrate in my collections, but Raitviir gives smaller spores for rubi. M. acantophila as a seperate species is also in his synonymy-list of rubi.

Re : Hymenoscyphus ?
I read the article you sent me and I think it increases the confusion.
I can archive it as Mollisina cf. ruby
In any case, I have learned a lot of the genre.
