I was happy to find these orange asmocyetes which
I found a few fruiting bodies on a dead twig of Myrica gale, partially decortated. Nearby grew several fruiting bodies of Incrucipulum sulphurellum
FRB: disc shaped, 237 x 191 µm, with long curling hairs
Spores: oblong: 5,56-8,1 x 1,89-3,29 µm Q= 2.93 with some drops at the poles
Asci: cylindrical, 23,64-28,83 x 3,37-5,44 µm in melzer apex slightly blue; no croziers
Paraphyses: filiform, sometimes forked: 26.57 x 2.43 µm
Hairs: thick walled, broad base and ending twisted like a corckscrew; 44,82 µm long, base 4.35 µm, wall: 1.91 µm
Thanks to this forum I think it is Hyaloscypha leuconia. I have no literature, can anyone help me to determine whether it is the var. leuconica or var. bulbopilosa?
Thanks in advance,
François Bartholomeeusen
In annex one picture of the curling hairs and one document
leuconica has rather thick-walled glassy hairs, it belongs genetically to Hyalopeziza and was even combined there.
I compared my find with that of Enrique Rubio of 7/09/2014. At first glance it is the same but the dimensions are different. My measurements show a length of the hairs that does not come above 50 µm.
Greetings,
François
PS: I corrected leuconia in leuconica
