... found yesterday in the Bavarian Forest, near a rivulet in montaneous foerst.
I looked in the genera Bryoscyphus and Muscicola but - for the moment - did not find a fitting species. Unfortunately, I have little material left and no time for detailed study.
Can somebody help anyway.
The asci were IKI+ (blue) and had croziers, the excipulum end cells of +- globulosa and especially the paraphyses were strongly guttulate.
Regards from Lothar
you should a bit describd the fungus, is it sessile, smooth, diameter?
I assume you did not see any hairs?
Muscicola would be my first idea as well.
Zotto
Hi Zotto,
no - I did not see special hairs.
Sorry - I thought I would have posted the macro-foto. It ist bad, but better than nothing.
The tiny apothecia are white(ish), short-stalked to subsessile, and very small.
Thanks for the proposal of Muscicola.
Best regards from Lothar
I suppose you compared "Dasyscypha" polytrichi as well (in my Muscicola folder) which is distinctly hairy but has such spores (though apparently smooth).
My database has nothing on Sphagnum with such a spore size.
Zotto
Hi Zotto,
no - I saw no hairs and I saw no spore ornament. But, I had only half an hour yesterday to look at the specimen. I hope the few apothecia are still alive in the evening, so I hope I can have another closer look. Anyway, I do not believe in "Dasyscypha" for the moment.
Thanks again and best regards
Lothar
