Andgelo MombertBonsoir, Un discomycète sur Liochlaena lanceolat
Apothecia sessile; cup-shaped; ca 300 µm diam.; hymenium pale grey; exterior brownish orange.
Excipulum brown textura globulosa.
Paraphyses narrowly cylindrical (2-2.5 µm wide), sometimes swollen at apex; sometimes branched; cylindrical refractive VB in upper part.
Asci clavate; ca 100-110 x 13-16 µm; 8-spored (biseriate); IKI+ blue; with shallow apical ring.
Ascospores fusiform; hyaline; free spores 21-23 x 6 µm; mostly 1-septate, but free spores sometimes 2-septate; scattered small OBs, mainly near ends of spore.
This seems to resemble Nimbomollisia (Niptera) eriophori. I didn't notice gelatinous sheaths on the spores when examining the specimen but the image of spores in the ascus in MLZ seems to show some sort of gelatinous structure at the ends of the spores. Some of the paraphyses have swollen apices but this feature isn't as well developed as I would have expected in Nimbomollisia.
I'd be grateful for a second opinion.
Thanks
Marcus
