Hamatocanthoscypha on Cupressus leaves

Enrique Rubio, 09-01-2013 20:25

Hi again

This material was sent to me from M. Tapia (Navarra, NE of Spain) as Hamatocanthoscypha species growing on rotten, blackish, leaves of Cupressus. The ascomata are minute, briefly stipitate and allways white.

The spores are ovoid eguttulate or provided of 1-2 small polar guttules. Asi IKI negative (-), croziers positive (+). Paraphyses with any content. Ectal excipulum elongate of and + or - elongate textura prismatica. Hairs granulate, many of them uncinate.

I think is a good Hamatocanthoscypha species that not fits well with H. obsoleta. In Zotto's CD there is an Hamatocanthoscypha 'rotundispora' HB- 7444 that is very close with this fungus.
What's your opinion?

Many thanks again
Enrique
