Good eveningThese small, amphora-shaped perithecia
I found these apothecia growing on Hedera helix.
Hairs to 140x4.5um. thick-walled, hyaline and finely encrusted apex.
Sizes asci 40-48 x 4.5-6um. IKI +. croziers +
Lanceolate paraphyses, x 3-4.5um
I think it could be Lasiobelonium variegatum, but I would like someone to confirm or reject it.
thanks, greetings
Susana
Was it o a branch on the ground? Or decorticated and still attached?
I don't think that it is variegatum. Could you look near the base of the apos whether the hairs are straight also there? L. variegatum has strongly undulating hairs.

It was a small branch, which was on the ground, detached.
He still had the bark, but was very damaged
I have noticed that the hairs on the basal part are straight.
Susana
This is impossibly L. variegatum.
I see some similarities to Lasiobel. pseudocorticale, but that species is on coniferous wood.
Zotto
The last photos I sent was not much seemed at first. It is true that the hairs appeared hyaline (not only the basal, apical too). Do not know that this may be due: they are losing the pigments, they were contamination ...
I have returned to rehydrate apothecia and I looked under the microscope. I send new photos to see if you can conclude anything more.
Thanks,
Susana
