Hi to everybody.This Pyrenopeziza grew in moist le
Hello, I have found these interesting 0.5mm wide ascomycete in, rather numerous and gregarious on dead decaying sticks of a herbacious plant (maybe fennel, maybe Acanthus petioles) which have a tiny stipe. Outline rim maybe folded inside and become irregular. I have not yer carried out a full documentation, but a quick slide yesterday revealed very narrow asci but spores were very scarce (none were free outside the asi). What family (or genus) are we ?
Bonjour Stephen,
Difficult whithout micro observation, but did you consider Cyathicula ?
Michel
I have worked on the micro of this species and I have the following results
Ascocarps L x W : 0.5 x 0.7 Range: 0.4-0.7 x 0.5-0.9 (1.6!)
Cross section : a brownish-grey layer darker from the rest below the hymenium
Crystals: PRESENT
Asci: 50-60 x 4-5 um / J+ / Croziers present
Paraphysis : linear, same or slightly longer from asci (-65um) with numerous guttulae, but some have less (not uniform)
Spores: Cylindrical with rounded ends, 7-10um, with two small, condensed guttulae at each end, straight or slightly curves (sausage shaped)
I have seen several posts on this page and I concluded that this is Cyathicula cacaliea
Do you agree? :-)

Thank you all (Michel we jsut emailed each other - I am the guy from Malta)
Yes yes Stephen, I was also fully conscious about your regular presence on Ascofrance when we exchanged mails about Ascomycete.org and I thank you again for your enthusiastic membership ...
Michel
