Brunnipila on woody ericaceous host

Hi again


The brownish hairs of these narrowly sessile apothecia are sepate, granulate, with crystal drusses at their tips, so I think it could belong to the genus Brunnipila. But I don't find a taxon that fits well with my collection, because the asci are IKI rb and don't have croziers at their bases. The paraphyses are broadly lanceolate and exceed the hymenium level.


This fungus grew on subalpine environnement (1700 m) on a decorticated branch of an ericaceous plant, maybe Geista florida.


Have you some ides for me?


Thanks again

Re : Brunnipila on woody ericaceous host
I'm sorry. I wanted to say Erica australis, not Genista (Fabaceae)

I measured the hairs as at least 120-140 x 4.5-5 µm which is quite long and would fit B. calyculiformis, but that species has croziers.
But there is a sample that has H-:
Brunnipila aff. calyculiformis, 20.VI.2013, by Ruben Martinez Gil, on twigs and leaves of Quercus ilex at 1200 masl in northern Spain, in La Rioja. Ap. up to 1.5 mm, spores 8-12 x 1.5-2.5 µm. Hairs 150-175 µm long.

maybe it is the same.

Forgot to mention B. latebricola on Rhododendron which likewise is H+.

Also a sample as calyculiformis from Collado La Farrapona, on Vitis idaea (?, as Erica), by Jens Petersen was H+.

Hi Zotto


Certainly Ruben's collection is very close...


Many thanks
