Hello, Found by Laurens van der Linde on Rubus fr
Hi to everybody
These very small yellowish, scattered, long stipitate apothecia, up to 0.7 mm high 0.5 mm broad, were found on old stems of Narthecium ossifragum in a boggy place at 1400 m of altitude.
Asci are broadly clavate, 8-spored, up to 145 x 18, apical pore IKI b of Hymenoscyphus-type, without croziers. Ascospores ellipsoid, with many small guttules, 0-(1) septate. Paraphyses multiguttulate as the marginal cells. Excipulum bulit by a + or – elongate textura prismatica with no gelified tissue.
I don't find any species that fits with our find. Any idea for it?
Associated fungi: Mollisia cf. palustris and Mollisia russea.
Thanks again
I have no spontaneous idea! It is rare that a species with homopolar spores (without pointd base) lacks croziers.
If you want you can send me the plate when finished. Then I can identify future records of yours :-)
