I found a group of apothecia growing on the bark of a living tree (perhaps Salix). Apothecia size is up to 800 um in diameter. Both, hairs as hymenium are white. Except base of mature apothecia that take a reddish-brown color. It also appears that the hymenium taking a yellowish when ripe.
The features are similar to Lasiobelonium lonicerae, but in this case I see that the hairs are hyaline and I think that may correspond to Lasiobelonium "album".
Is that correct?
Gracias, un saludo

wonderful docu as always!
And splendid collection! A bit wider spores and more multiguttulate, but you must know that my sample was dry when I got it almost 3 months later. So now i know the original guttule pattern of this species!
You say the tree was alive, do you have photos of the leaves?
My drawing is ready for publication, ony I have no time at all.... :-(

I've been where collected the sample. The substrate is a Quercus, was any dry leaf still hanging from a branch.
If you find out or know the Quercus species please let me know. I conclude the tree stands directly at a rivulet and the fungus is perhaps 1 m above ground?
When I saw the habitat I thought it might be only a pale variant of Lasiobelonium lonicerae?
I do not know what kind of Quercus is. If I find out, I'll tell you.
Yes, the apothecia were about a meter off the ground on the bark of a tree growing in a stream.
I archive it as pale variety o L. lonicerae?
