Bryophilous discomycete on Lophozia
Gernot Friebes,
23-04-2012 15:02
G. Bauer sent me photos of an unknown bryophilous discomycete which we have never seen before. We hope that you have an idea! Here is a description: On a mossy rock (granite), on Lophozia cf. ventricosa. Apothecia 0.5–1.5 mm, yellow orange with slightly lighter margin, underneath light yellow, hardly any stipe. Ascospores (11.5)13–15 x 3–3.5 µm, partly 1-septate. Asci 55–62 µm long, Melzer's/IKI+, with croziers. Paraphyses filiform, septate in the lower part, furcate. Hairs ± straight, smooth. Conspicuous feature: the apothecia sometimes change colour in tap water or aqua dest. and become ± pinkish, in KOH they always become immediately vinaceous.
Best wishes,
Gernot

Re : Bryophilous discomycete on Lophozia
I know these images, and I cannot find a name for it. There exists a very similar species with shorter spores which grows on Nowellia in Croatia, likewise without a name. Both are undoubtedly congeneric, but in which genus to place??

Re : Bryophilous discomycete on Lophozia
Yes, he already mentioned that you have seen these photos. Do you maybe have more information on the species from Croatia? Sound very interesting.

Re : Bryophilous discomycete on Lophozia
I have actually seen it only in a somewhat overmature state. It was Lothar Krieglsteiner who collected it and made a drawing.
The spores were 6.5-11 x 2.5-4 µm, asci pure red in IKI, some of paraphyses multiguttulate, irregularly flexuous.
Here I attach some photos
