Bonjour à tous,Je voudrais votre avis sur cette r

Unfortunately, I do not have a picture of the apothecium. It was only one found, during a seminar, on the soil in a deciduous forest (Carpinus, Castanea, Quercus, Prunus avium u.a.) near Sulzbach am Taunus (Germany, Hessen).
At first glance I thought of a small Peziza (apothecium about 1 cm large), but the spores are clearly an Ascobolus.
Can somebody say more than the species only with my micro-fotos?
Best regards, Lothar
I think it should be A. viridis.
Best regards, Zuzana
Hi Zuzana,
this was my first thought also - thank you very much!
In the internet I found pictures labelled viridis with a different ornament - but likely they are wrong.
Best regards!
Lothar
Hopefully someone will correct me if I am wrong.
Hi Zuzana, hallo Peter,
thank you very much!
more than 20 years ago (my dissertation) I once thought to know A. viridis, but this is long ago ...
@Peter: ja, wir müssen auch mal wieder zusammen auf Exkursion gehen :-)
Best regards to both of you,
Lothar
