inoperculate discomycete from ethiopia
Uwe Lindemann, 02-11-2008 01:23
Uwe LindemannHello,
at the end of september 2008 I found in addis abeba (ethiopia) a difficult inoperculate discomycete, growing on bark of a broadleaf tree (ficus?).

Macroscopic features:
Apothecia: 2-3 mm diameter, yellow, sessile, at the margin with brown hairs

Microscopic features:
Ascus: 110-130 x 10 ym, without crozier, containing 8 parallel lying ascospores, porus in IKI blue
Ascospores: 48-58 x 2,5-3,5 ym, hyalin, 6-8 septate, filiform, strongly curved
Paraphyses: lanceolate
Hairs: brown, 80 x 4,5 ym, septate, thick-walled, obtuse

What do you think about this discomycete? I have no idea...
Thank you very much for your help!
Best wishes
Uwe

Hello Uwe,
This species resembles the genus Trichopeziza, i think it is the so called species Lachnum indicum (Cash) Haines & Dumont. To my knowledge no combination in Trichopeziza is made.
best wishes,
Stip

Hello Stip, thank you very much for your fast help! My collectrion is very similar to Lachnum indicum which is described in the article.
