Hello everyone,
Disco on twigs of Quercus sp. found in October, Japan.
Fruitbody 3-8 mm. in diam, stalked.
Asci 8-spored, IKI+, 7-8.6 x 102-120 microns,
paraphyses filiform, sometimes brown.
ascospores long elliptical, sometimes inequilateral, smooth, hyaline, with small drops in each end, 3.0-3.5 x 11-13 microns.
Ectal excipulum thin-walled, prismatic cells,
medullary excipulum interwoven hyaline hyphae,
surface hyphae with roughend by brown granules.
It lools like Rutstroemia firma, but ascospores are aseptate, form short germ tube.
I'd appreciate your advice.
Masanori Kutsuna
A prismatica in combination with small spores with few small oil drops sounds unusual.
Zotto
Regards
Masanori
