Phaeohelotium on deciduous wood?
Oskari Virtanen, 29-12-2025 09:38
Hi,
could anyone help me identify this, I suspect Phaeohelotium or maybe Hymenoscyphus? I was thinking something along the lines of Leptodontidium (/P.) trabinellum or P. fulvidulum but I couldn't get the asci or spore size to fit.

- On rotten, decorticated deciduous wood (Betula or Populus), damp mixed forest, Southwest Finland (Turku), December 2025.
- Diameter approx. 1.5 mm, growing gregariously in a 20 cm area, almost sessile.
- Asci 8-spored, IKI+, with croziers, (105.4) 115 - 124.8 (127.4) × (6.6) 6.8 - 7.7 (8.8) µm.
- Living spores in water (10.3) 10.6 - 13.8 (14.2) × (3.5) 3.8 - 4.6 (4.9) µm, Q = (2.3) 2.6 - 3.3 (3.4); N = 25, occasionally 1-septate.
- Paraphyses rarely exceeding asci, with some droplets, apices never swollen, 1.5 - 2.8 µm at the apex.


I'm quite new to asco microscopy so please let me know if you need anything else. :)


Best,
Oskari

Re : Phaeohelotium on deciduous wood?
Ascus and spore size is not the only critical detail, but look at the apical ring of the Calycina type. Can you exclude Calycina citrina?

Re : Phaeohelotium on deciduous wood?
In my opinion, the amyloid reaction of asci is of Calycina-type, so this excludes Phaeohelotium or Hymenoscyphus...

Re : Phaeohelotium on deciduous wood?
The microscopy does indeed fit C. citrina, and looking at the descriptions I see no good reason to exclude it. I'm used to seeing it a much brighter yellow, so I mindlessly went past it. Also good to know that this type of reaction is common to Calycina. Thank you both!
