Hello,

this very tiny discomycete is growing on a dead and partly rotten branch of hardwood, lying on the ground in a moist environment. The apothecia are on the upper, still firm side of the branch, while downside the soft, soaked and rotten part is inhabited by Mollisia cinerea cf. and Natantiella ligneola (the latter on all sides of the branch).
The largest apothecia are 330µm in dm., hyaline and punctate fixed to the substratum.
The paraphyses are "glued"together with a gel, so I couldn't observe them properly. But my impression is that they are not capitate.
The asci vary in size (34)40-55(59)x6,1-7,5 µm.
Spores are cylindrical, slightly allantoid and hyaline with some oildrops at the polar ends. Sometimes one septum. (6,7)8,1-9,9(10,9)x2,1-3,1 µm.
In each of my preparations I found large conidia, always of the same type. They have 7 septa, the contents filled mostly with many small oildrops, with large ones in 1 case.
With Zotto's key I come to Hyalorbilia inflatula, but does this fit macroscopicaly?

With best regards,
Martin
