Bonjour,je sollicite votre avis pour la récote
Cistella geelmuydenii?

GrüeziI found this on Corylus avellana. Apothecia are white when fresh and up to about 0.3mm in diameter.
The spores in the picture measure 4.7 - 7.4 x 2.4 - 3.7µm Q = 1.7 - 2.4
Ascus apex is hemyamiloid (didnt check KOH+IKI, only IKI), with croziers
It seems to fit Cistella geelmuydenii quite well. Can anyone confirm?
Thanks in advance & many greetings

Re : Cistella geelmuydenii?
Dear Phil,
To me this looks like a Hyphodiscus, I think a long time ago I named a collection like this also C. geelmuydenii. Probably C. geelmuydenii is a Hyphodiscus too. Check for Fungal remnants under the Fruitbodies and if you find a anamorph previous known as Catenulifera
Cheers,
Stip

Re : Cistella geelmuydenii?
I have no good concepts in Cistella, but it could be geelmuydenii, except that the spores are much wider than usual (5-8 x 2-2.5). But when measure your photo I get 2.5-3 µm.
The ectal excipulum is actually somewhat gelatinized which would point to a Hyphodiscus.
Unai Fernandez sent me a few days ago a collection which I considered to be C. geelmuydenii. But that had narrower spores and totally thin-walled exciple. I advised him to take a sequence as I am curious, because he considered Hyphodiscus as a possibility. There are so few sequences of Cistella in GenBank.

Re : Cistella geelmuydenii?
Thanks for your comments.
I tried to find that anamorph and saw some conidia that might or might not fit. But as always with anamorphs, I only saw conidia but destroyed the conidiophores completely during preparation. I also remeasured the spores in the picture and some additional spores, with the same results. There are a lot of fungal remnants on the wood but I can't say if the fungus growa on it. I'll give up on this one, this is too difficult for me... :-)
