I was happy to find these orange asmocyetes which I identified as Pithya vulgaris based on the size of the apothecium that ranged between 3.5 to 5.5cm and the substrate being a woody twig. P. cupressina, which I am familiar with, are here found of fallen leaves of Cupressus sempervirens and are up to 3mm wide (mostly barely 2mm).Can I assign this finding to P. vulgaris or I still need further verifications (microscopical investigations).
