Vitus SchäfftleinHello, I found Trochila ilicina on Ilex aquifoliu
I would appreciate some help with this one:
Found on large, humid Picea trunk in a ravine 19.9.2015
Fruiting body flat, discoid, Ø 1.2 cm, hymenium young with a dark purple-brown colour, old paler purplish-brown. Excipulum whitish, slightly granular.
Microscopy:
Asci cylindric, IKI+ blue (also in dry material), 265-280 x 13-14. Paraphyses clavate, up to 7µm Ø, with brownish contents. Spores ellipsoid, 15-20 x 8-10 µm (Spore print), finely warted, biguttulate. Flesh mostly textura globosa, Excipulum with discontinuous palisadic parts of cylindric to slightly clavate cells with brownish contents.
Thanks for any help,
Stefan

Anyway, I'll try again...
