Pol DebaenstHello, Garden, Burgweg 19, Veurne, BelgiumOn 10/1
Hi,I found this small white discomycete on Alnus incana cones on the ground.
Pictures are here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/59289600
Apothecia 0.5-0.6mm, some with a long stipe.
Asci 8-spored, IKI+r or IKI+b after KOH, croziers(+), 90-118x9-11um.
Ascospores biguttulate, measure
(15) 15.5 - 18 (18.9) × (4) 4.2 - 4.7 (5.1) µm
Q = (3.3) 3.4 - 4.2 (4.4) ; N = 31
Me = 16.7 × 4.4 µm ; Qe = 3.8
Paraphyses with long, cylindrical VBs.
I presumed it could be Pezizella/Calycellina alniella, but the spores size and shape, IKI reaction and some other thing do not look right and I run out of ideas.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Igor
