Another strange fungus on Aruncus dioicus

Hi friends,I have received a collection from Switzerland, a small pyrenomycete growing on dead stems of Aruncus dioicus. I first thought about Leptosphaerulina, but the features have given me another direction. I think the apical apparatus reacts rb in iodine (I have seen blue-gray and red ones). This means probably Xylariales, but which one has so small fruitbodies (170-210x45-50µm!) and muriforme spores of 12-16x3-5,5µm? I have no idea, but probably anyone can say something about it.
Best wishes,
björn

Re : Another strange fungus on Aruncus dioicus
Hi Björn
you could verify hemiamyloidity by KOH-pretreatment. It is very rare that a pyrenomycete is hemiamyloid and I am interested in any such case.

Re : Another strange fungus on Aruncus dioicus
Hi Zotto,
I am sure it does, because I have seen many asci with these colours (red and blue).
With KOH pretreatment they all would be blue, right?

Re : Another strange fungus on Aruncus dioicus
Yes, intensely blue and no red at all!

Re : Another strange fungus on Aruncus dioicus
A nice idea indeed! And Emil Müller overlooked the amyloidity of the bitunicate asci because he used Melzer without KOH.

Re : Another strange fungus on Aruncus dioicus
Hi Eric,
I am to slow at all, I was preparing these old Sydowia-articles to include them into my literature system in a few days, so I probably would have thought about the same idea, which is great indeed. I was just thinking about Leptopeltidaceae and those strange fungi with flat fruitbodies, covered completely by epidermis layers. But the IKI reaction is totally wrong here, isn't it? That would not fit at all, Dothideomycetes aren't IKI+ like this, never never :P
I think the determination is right, Dothiopeltis arunci. But they should change its systematic position. Thanks to Eric for this.
PS. The first preparation was in Melzer, because I wanted to have the spores being dead due to the visibility of the septations. The apical reaction was red/blue already.
regards,
björn

Re : Another strange fungus on Aruncus dioicus
By the way, in the newest Sydowia there is an article about it:
Alfred Granmo, Geir Mathiassen A new species of Dothiopeltis from Norway 343- 348
Does anyone have this? I really would like to read what Granmo and Mathiassen write about this genus...

Re : Another strange fungus on Aruncus dioicus
But who knows if they tested the material of D. arunci in Lugol...maybe it'd be worth contacting the authors and ask them about this strange hemiamyloid fungus.

Re : Another strange fungus on Aruncus dioicus
Maybe someone has this paper:
Crivelli&Müller E., 1983: Dothiopeltis arunci and its anamorph ascomycetes. Botanica Helvetica: 33-38
Ah, it is also online: http://dx.doi.org/10.5169/seals-65231
again I don't see remarks on iodine reaction.
Edit: the DOI-link should work
