François BartholomeeusenDear forum members, Can someone help me!On April
Trouvé sur cône de Pinus, apothécies 0.3-0.6mm de diamètre, noir, stipités.
Asques 137-163x12.5-17µm, octosporés, J+, spores 53-80x2.5-4µm, multiseptés, paraphyses filiformes.
Merci d'avance.

Hi Elisabeth
your find seems to have a lot in common with Gorgoniceps aridula - but the fully black apothecia don`t fit. But maybe it is a hint for further inquiry. Were the apothecia completely dried out?
Regards from Lothar

difficult to say. The spores are too broad to fall to G. aridula/viridula. Are the paraphyses apically branched? That seems to occur rather rarely in Gorgoniceps.
Good would be to take a look at the excipulum, in section or in surface view.
Zotto

Habe ansonsten keine Idee. Meine Datenbankabfrage ergibt folgendes. Hierbei kann man Therrya pini und Gorgoniceps schon mal ausschliessen. Lophodermella sollte inamyloid sein (?), Arachnopeziza ist es sicher auch keine. Naemacyclus und Cyclaneusma scheiden auch aus. Was bleibt???
