Voici un petit asco jaune stipité, trouvé dans une ornière forestière humide sur feuilles pourries de peuplier noir (Populus nigra) :a) spores fusiformes, remplies de microguttules, triseptées (parois très fines, pas toujours faciles à voir et déjà présentes dans l'asque) : 16,5-26x5-7
b) paraphyses cylindriques multiguttulées
c) asques IKI+

Reminds somewhat a Phaeohelotium, but were the spores septate inside the living asci?

Hi Zotto,
Glad to read you.
Yes, spores seem regularly septate in the ascus, as in this picture.

Re : Asco jaune sur feuilles pourries de peuplier noir (Populus nigra)
I am sorry, that was not my question :-(
I saw this well but important is: are they septate in the living ascus.
Septa are common in hymenoscyphus and Phaeohelotium, but only in overmature spores. Did you see turgescent asci?

Sorry Zotto, I did not understand your request… :o)
I found some living asci and saw spores with septa.

Hi Bernard and Zotto,
This species has been collected several times in Belgium, Flanders , a.o. on leaves of Populus. I tentatively called it Hymenoscyphus cf. strangulatus (Velen.) Svr?ek, the only Western European Hymenoscyphus species I know producing 3-septate spores within living asci, but it needs a new name.

Re : Asco jaune sur feuilles pourries de peuplier noir (Populus nigra)
Ah, thanks Bernard D., I remember your drawing under the name H. triseptatus.
And thanks Bernard C., the photos are splendid!
What I still wonder:
- B.D. draws an apothecium with a stipe longer than apo diameter, how long are the stipes in your sample?
- I think your asci have croziers, do you have a clearer photo or did you see that?
It seems I never met this fungus, which could belong in the relationship of H. menthae which stands quite apart between Hymenoscyphus and Phaeohelotium.

OK Zotto, I check the length of the stipes and the presence of croziers at the base of asci.

Re : Asco jaune sur feuilles pourries de peuplier noir (Populus nigra)
I took this third microscopic observation to redo more photos.
a) the mature spores are typically constricted at the septa
b) I think asci have a crozier at the base but it is not very clear to me
c) I also checked the length of the stems/diameter apothecia : 550/810 - 550/720 - 800/750
What do you think about that ?

Re : Asco jaune sur feuilles pourries de peuplier noir (Populus nigra)
Yes, clearly with croziers. And the spores, do they produce these large microconidia?
Stalk length is fine!

Re : Asco jaune sur feuilles pourries de peuplier noir (Populus nigra)
ah, it could be that anastomoses are formed between conidia (valuable for nuclear DNA exchange).

Re : Asco jaune sur feuilles pourries de peuplier noir (Populus nigra)
Hi Bernard & Zotto,
I returned on site tonight and have found several copies of Hymenoscyphus cf. strangulatus. I'll let them ripen to see mature spores with any conidia.

But I redid the macro and micro pictures you can use.

Re : Asco jaune sur feuilles pourries de peuplier noir (Populus nigra)
Hi Zotto and Bernard,
I just make an observation on very mature apothecia.
I just make an observation on very mature apothecia.
Obviously mature spores, triseptate, break up at the walls and give conidia. These are sometimes interconnected by a filament (anastomoses between conidia was talking Zotto?)
What do you think about that ?

Re : Asco jaune sur feuilles pourries de peuplier noir (Populus nigra)
The spores disarticulate (break) at the septa, and they form anastomoses (bridges), but I don't see conidia, that was an error of mine.

Re : Asco jaune sur feuilles pourries de peuplier noir (Populus nigra)
Bonjour à tous,
C'est peut-être parce que les spores sont trop mûres, et il y a une ou deux cellules qui sont mortes et se sont vidées de leur cytoplasme.
