White asco on Fagus grandifolia leaf
Francois Guay, 03-10-2025 22:17
Francois GuayHi everyone,
 

I found this white, star-shaped asco on a Fagus grandifolia leaf in Quebec, Canada.

Spores: 15–16.6 × 3.5–4.3 µm

Asci: IKI+

Here’s the iNat link with photos and microscopy:


Any idea what it could be?

Thanks!

Re : White asco on Fagus grandifolia leaf
I do not understand the macroscopy. Are the apos stalked or sessile and what about the toothed receptacle? What are the teeth composed of?

Microscopy recalls H. caudatus agg.

Yes, the apothecia were short-stalked. I think the "star shape" is just an unusual shape; next to them were some other apothecia with a regular form like other Hymenoscyphus. The teeth were just like the rest of the hymenium.
Thanks Zotto
