Violet discomycetes on Picea wood
Alex Akulov, 17-08-2011 22:51
Alex AkulovDear Friends

During my recent trip to the Carpathians, I often meet a small violet discomycete on the Picea abies wood. Given how much often it had met, I think it's something trivial.


As for me, when fresh apothecia are similar with young Ascocoryne. But it is significant that cross section of dry apothecia is almost white and the texture of dry fruit bodies is very hard. Ascospores probably are filiform.



Do you have some idea, what it would be?

Grateful before,
Alex

Re : Violet discomycetes on Picea wood
Hi Alex

could be young Ascocoryne cylichnium, which is only slightly gelatonous.

But this should possess crystals in the medulla and also on the exterior, I assume already when immature. Maybe you will see the crystals under higher magnification. The apos show a whitish powder on your photo, so these might be due to crystals.

Thank you, Zotto


I found some more mature specimens, collected diring same expedition.


Its really looks like Ascocoryne cylichnium.
