Minute apos on bark of oak
Stefan Jakobsson, 03-03-2023 20:13
On a branch of Quercus on the underside of loose bark and in bark cracks there were some minute apothecia, turbinate, 0,13-0,22 mm in diameter. The asci are 51-67 × 8.5-11.3 µm, IKI negative. The spores are 10.1-13.0 × 3.2-3.5, occasionally septate. Paraphyses cylindrical, 1-2 µm, thin-walled, septate, branched. Excipular hairs cylindrical, 1 µm thick, thin-walled, slightly amyloid in Melzer and a few marginal hairs seem to have some lumps turning black.

I would be grateful for suggestions on this one. Thanks!

Hi,

Are they hairs for sure? I suppose they are then. Hyaloscypha daedalea would be my starting point.  But the spores are rather large here. And H. quercicola has MLZ- asci. WOuld that be an option?

I dont know. If I get it right the dextrinoid part in the hairs is quite long. Howabout Hyaloscypha intacta? The hair layout would fit. H. intacta is often very anonymous macroscopically.

Re : Minute apos on bark of oak
I got a better view of the hairs in CR - the shape could fit e.g. intacta. Actiually I found what I take to be H. intacta on the same branch but that is macroscopically very different, sessile and much more dextrinoid:

kind of large hairs for intacta. Are the asci simple septate? ...Then we have H. spiralis, simple septa, hairs and spores would fit. Excpular cells dextrinoid by any chance?

Re : Minute apos on bark of oak
Just slightly dextrinoid. I have difficulties making up my mind on croziers.

Re : Minute apos on bark of oak
No bluing whatsoever of the ascal plug even after KOH pretreatment. That leaves only H. intacta then, I presume.

H. intacta seems to be very common during the winter months, but I have never seen it like this. All intactas I have seen have been on branches recently fallen from the canopies - like this one. This fungus had a very light brownish or beige colour which I have never noticed before. My intactas have always been whitish or greyish hyaline. Likewise, the substipitate apos are new - I have always seen only sessile apos of intacta. Seppo says "...narrowly to broadly sessile".


Danke schön!

Re : Minute apos on bark of oak
I think there's always room for doubt with Hyaloscyphas. I am getting confused with intactas often. There's usually atleast one sample per year labeled "small hyaloscyphoid, no hairs" or something like that, only turning out to be a H. intacta once sequenced. Then, going back to scope, there's the single hair somewhere with dextrinoid apex. Usually dextrinoid reaction (excipulum) is more or less clear. Maybe that's the questionmark here?
