Voici un champignon récolté le 4 janvier sur Mnium affine en forêt de Fontainebleau
(77) ; un seul exemplaire de 5mm.
Est-ce que quelqu'un parmi vous a une idée?
Merci d'avance.

Re : champignon sur bryophyte
Hi Mila
this looks like a Peziza to me although I am not sure that a helotialean species can be excluded. Curved paraphyses look characteristic, but where do they occur? With at least double resolution of your pics I could perhaps be more sure.

Re : champignon sur bryophyte
Bonjour Mila,
Avais tu la certitude que le bryophyte était le véritable support ?
Les spores m'évoquent plutôt un Ciboria mais en regardant la réaction à l'iode, je ne vois pas celle d'une Sclerotiniaceae et je me demande même s'il n'y a pas d'opercules à certains asques.
Amitiés
Michel

Cher Mila
I attach here some of your pics in higher resolution. I see an operculum in some of them. The amyloid ring is indeed somewhat similar to Sclerotiniaceae, but the operculum and the ellipsoid spores with a striking nucleus in the centre point to a Peziza in my opinion.
A section of the whole apothecium would be helpful to see the texture, cell size, and the layers.

Re : champignon sur bryophyte
Hi to all,
it could be a Thecotheus species. Two years ago I found a very similiar collection which grows also on mosses at a place which was urinated by sheeps and hares. First I thought also of Bryoscyphus or something similar, but the asci were also operculate.
Lastly Dirk and I determinated it as Thecotheus cf. uncinatus. The mature spores were finely warted, the immature spores were smooth.
Best, Uwe

Re : champignon sur bryophyte
Hi Uwe,
Did you also have such paraphyses in your collection as in Mila's fungus ? As Zotto said, they look here characteristic for Peziza .

Re : champignon sur bryophyte
Yes, we had similar paraphyses.
And we found near to the apothecium on moss also one apothecium on hare dung.
Due the apical blueing of the ascus we thought firstly of Peziza but we found no Peziza species which fits with our observations. After the study of the literature we come to the conclusion that the genus Thecotheus fits also well. We are not sure concerning our determination but we have no other idea than Thecotheus.

Re : champignon sur bryophyte
This is great, Uwe! The name surely refers to the hooked paraphyses. Do you have this thesis by Aas where it is described?
Michel, I mean't that they look characteristic in generall, not in regard to Peziza where I do not recall a species with this feature.
But I was unaware of such merely apical and strong iodine reaction in Thecotheus. Those that I know react along the whole ascus.

Re : champignon sur bryophyte
I had now an opportunity to look in the monograph. The ascus iodine reaction for T. uncinata is described as "when fresh the I+ blue colour of the asci occasionally soon disappears, but retursn after some days". Whatever this means, it sounds to me as a weak reaction not restricted to the apex, as in other species of the genus. This is also a key character for the whole family Ascobolaceae.
So I doubt a bit that your and Uwe's finds belong in that genus.

Re : champignon sur bryophyte
salut zotto,
i agree with you. the kind of iodine-reaction is typical peziza and not really thecotheus comparable. i recently think its more likely a (perhaps undescribed) probably coprophile peziza. @mila: can you give informations about spore-measure and ornamentation, so we could compare better with our collection? the ornamentation of our find was fine verrucose, more dense at the poles!
one reason that we considered thecotheus was that our fruitbodies were very small (2-4mm!) and nearly colourless.

Bonjour Dirk et Zotto,
Ma récolte date du 4 janvier et l'observation au microscope est fait avec du matériel frais. Les spores sont lisses, de diamètre de 15-19x6-10µm. J'ai posté ce matin l'exsiccata de mon seul exemplaire à Uwe.

Re : champignon sur bryophyte
Hi to all,
I had now the opportunity to investigate Mila's finding. I think it's the same fungus which I found together with Dirk. The spores of Mila's finding are also like ours at maturity finely warted only immature smooth. In Lugol the asci are strongly blueing at the apex (as shown on the pictures) but faintly also the whole ascus.
Best, Uwe

Re : champignon sur bryophyte
Hoi Uwe
on your photo of your find there are some ochre-coloured spores. Is this due to iodine or is it a natural colour?

Re : champignon sur bryophyte
Hello
Sorry to use this thread but I'm pretty sure I found the same species of mushroom.
I found it a week earlier but the fruiting bodies were completely immature.
They grew on plant debris and moss soaked with feces.
All features match the presented in this thread. However, no one mentions the outer surface of the fruiting body. In my sporocarps on the outer surface there were thinner hyphae covering the entire sporocarps. Have you seen it too?

The diameter of the largest sporocarps was 6-7 mm.
Mature spores slightly rough!
