Dasyscyphella chrysotexta on indet. decorticate ha
Hi,I found this discomycete in two instances in September on the living roots of Carex.
If someone can point me to the right genus.
Apothecium was up to 3.7mm.
Asci croziers(+), IKI+b. The apical apparatus is Hymenoscyphus-type.
Ascospores 20 - 30 × 4.4 - 5.3 µm
#461 - https://inaturalist.ca/observations/59262819
#461B - https://inaturalist.ca/observations/59945254 (extra pictures in CR)
Thanks you,
Igor
I didn't know that it could be parasitic on living plants.
I didn't do section because I have troubles understanding what I'm seeing.
I collected Phaeohelotium epiphyllum near both locations. Near the first (#461) on a big rotten log and near the second (#461b) on Fagus and Acer leaves. In both cases they were bright yellow, with shorter spores and fitted well with the description.
Yes, the both specimens were the same. For the second specimen I also did in Congo Red, so I could see croziers better.
I head about P. monticola, but haven't seen it yet. It was a good year and I saw a lot:
Hymenoscyphus albidus, H. imberbis, H. fructigenus, H. kathiae, P. menthae, P. fulvidulum, H. scutula, H. subferrugineus,
maybe P. fagineum and a few more I can't id yet or uncertain.
For instance like this gorgeous H. vacini (#400) on Acer petioles and other leaves:

It looks like it is more complicated than I can handle right now.
