I'm not entirely sure that Encoelia-like is the right way to describe this. These cups were found on a branch of hardwood in the Eastern US. They were brown and shriveled in the field, but rehydrated to a fairly stunning appearance when left in a moist chamber for a day. The hymenium is yellow, becoming orange brown. The receptacle is scurfy brown. They are clustered and erumpent through the bark. The largest one is slightly larger than 2mm in diameter. Some have a short pseudo stipe.
Asci:
IKI-, croziers+, clavate, 35-54 x 4-7µm
IKI-, croziers+, clavate, 35-54 x 4-7µm
Spores:
biseriate in the asci, hyaline, fusiform, sometimes slightly curved, usually with two oil drops,
5.0-7.6 (8.5) x 1.7-2.0 (2.3)µm
Me 6 x 1.9µm
N=48
Q 2.5-4.3 MeQ=3.1
Paraphyses:
septate, slightly tapering, about 2µm wide
Ectal excipulum brown, textura angularis.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ethan
