Bryostigma lapidicola o Micarea?
Gonzalez Garcia Marta, 14-06-2022 12:48
Hello,
We have found some tiny apothecia (0.25 mm in diameter) on Cortaderia selloana that react violently to iodine turning I+ red, except for the epithecium which is I+ blue. We intuit that it is a lichenized fungus.
Thallus inconspicuous or absent.
Exciple developed. septate paraphyses. Hymenium 50 microns high. Subhymenium reddish brown. Hymenophore K-, KI-.
Bicellular spores, 10-13 x 3-4 microns, brown or olive-brown, hyaline when immature. In Congo red, two gutules can be seen on each spore cell.
No pycnidia have been observed.
We have followed the keys of ITALIC 6.0 approaching Bryostigma lapidicola or the genus Micarea.
I would like to know your opinions. Thanks.

Re : Bryostigma lapidicola o Micarea?
Why not a Dacrylospora (now Sclerococcum)? That genus is characterized by a thick amyloid apical cap of the asci instead of a tholus.

Re : Bryostigma lapidicola o Micarea?
Hello
I don't know that genre but I'll look into it. I have these photos of the apothecium in iodine, where you can see "that possible thick layer of amyloid" growing on top of the asci. I think that is a good suggestion. Thank you very much.

Re : Bryostigma lapidicola o Micarea?
No doubt! Very typical is that the lateral wall reacts hemiamyloid (red) while the apex is blue (euamyloid). In MLZ (without KOH-pretreatment) only the top would be reactive.

There is a key of the genus by Ihlen et al. 2004. The genus was quite often posted in Ascofrance.
