Steve ClementsBonjour, I expected this find on old wood on our
I'm completely stumped by this little ascomycete.
I'm sure you can help me out.
The oak twig comes from the crown of an older oak tree;
it has been completely stripped of its bark and was snapped off by the wind.
After two days of rehydration, these cushion-shaped apothecia, growing in clusters and measuring approx. 0.3–0.8 (max. 1) mm, appeared amongst the 'green algae'.
A striking feature is the light-coloured fruiting layer with a dark margin, caused by 'marginal hairs' or the excipulum.
The outer surface of the cup is completely dark, featuring elements of a "Textura oblita"???.
Asci crousier +, IKL -. approx 90–115 (120) × 12–14 (16) µm.
Paraphyses approx. 1.8–3 µm wide, serpentine, with vacuoles that partially react to IKL.
Notable are the multigutulate spores, approx. 33–42 × 4.5–5.5 µm in size, some of which are septate.
Thank you very much for your help.
Kind regards,
Dirk
