Hi everyone, I found this Antinoa-like species last week and I was wondering if anyone has ever seen something like this and knows what it is.
•Growing on unidentified decaying wood/cone? Conifer forest
•Ascoma 763 microns high and stipe 144 microns wide
Here is the iNat link for the photos: https://www.inaturalist.ca/observations/252227522

Re : Antinoa sp. ?
Hi Francois
your ascus and spore photos are too low resolved in comparison to the excipulum, and their size not given. Anyway I suspect this is Cudoniella buissonii, a species which may occur white and blue-green, and which is very difficult to place in a proper genus.
Could you please give me an exact date? Will you preserve the find?
Zotto

Re : Antinoa sp. ?
This fits very well. Your ascus measurements are quite surely in dead state.
You did not see any living paraphyses? They are rather broad and contain very conspicuous VBs.
Look in my folder Pezizellaceae, Calycina (Antinoa-like).
I have enlarged there your asci and spores by 200%.
More apothecia would be needed for a sequence.
The substrate was always coniferous wood as I remember.

Re : Antinoa sp. ?
Thank you! I just found photos I have of the paraphyses with large droplets inside. I added the paraphyses photo on iNaturalist. I will try to send an apothecia for DNA sequencing. I will keep you updated if it works.

Re : Antinoa sp. ?
Yes, these are! I much hope that the two young apos are enough.
