Je sollicite votre aide pour la détermination d'un ascomycète que j'ai trouvé sur bois mort, très humide.
Voici mes données:
Apothécies de 0,5 - 2 mm maximum.
Micro:
Spores: 15-18 x 4-5 µm
Asques: 100-125 x 10-12 µm
Les paraphyses sont pluri-guttulées
J'ajoute 4 photos:
- Apothécies, asques, paraphyses et spores
Merci d'avance de votre aide.

Re:Asco inconue
Hi Piet
This is "Pachydisca" fulvidula or perhaps a closely related species. It is a quite difficult group. Usually the spores are longer, 18-21 or up to 26.5 µm. The asci are without croziers and I suppose that is also visible in your last image. Could you please test the Lugol reaction and make a photo of it? It would also be interesting to see the excipulum in median section (at about 400x). This should look a bit like in Mollisia.
From where comes this find? The species is typical of acis bogs.

Re:Asco inconue
Dear Piet
The IKI reaction of the ascus apex is a bit indistinct (should be more clearly blue). Otherwise all fits well to fulvidula, in my opinion. I have images of apos with yellow hymenium as well as greyish, and exterior from white to blackish-brown near the base. The species is related to Hymenoscyphus epiphyllus and should belong in that genus, or in Phaeohelotium if that is considered separable.
