Psilocistella ?

I found these apothecia growing on a sheet of Quercus.
Marginal hairs are grouping as teeth. They are smooth, I do not see any ornamentation or incrustation.
The asci are amyloid and with croziers.
I have reviewed the literature but I can not identify it. I thought perhaps it is Psilocistella quercina.
I would like your help for determination.
Thanks in advance.
Susana

Re : Psilocistella ?
Dear Susana
look here:
http://www.ascofrance.fr/search_forum/25641
This is a very similar one, differeing mainly in the absent croziers. There I compare one with croziers which seems to fit yours, though spores are a bit larger. Could you please supply more measurements? Apothecial size and hair size would be welcome. This seems to be a very rare species, or species complex. Also please keep the material in your herbarium. It may well be that someone would like to sequence it.
I would also be interested in the collection data because I am going to publish this as a new species. the problem is that the genus is still not clear.

Re : Psilocistella ?
Hi Zotto:
Apothecia size is 300-550um
The marginal hairs are up to 130um. The width is 3-3.5um
I have noticed that on the wall of the hairs appear small oileaginous deposits.
I send you the data coleccion.
I have stored the sample for if someone wants to study it.
Thanks, greetings

Re : Psilocistella ?
Thank you very much!
these drops are difficult to interpret. I suppose they are inconsistently present.
Maybe Teppo Rämä is interested in sequencing, I will tell him about this.

Re : Psilocistella ?
Dear Susana
Teppo is indeed very interested. Now, depending on the abundance you must decide whether to send him the whole or part of the collection. I think 3-5 apothecia are enough.
Thank you very much!
