Hello, everybody!This one was collected in 2008 year on bark of Acer tataricum. Actually, I don't have credible ideas, what this can be:(
Dimensions:
Apothecia: up to 0,5 mm in diam, 0,4*0,8 mm.
Sporesize: 15,3-17,8* 5,3-6,3 um, mature become 1-septate
Asci: 90-100*10-12 um
Apical pore blued in IKI
Pleace, help!
Thank you,
Irina

                Here you should show us the IKI-stained apical ring in big resolution. Presently I have no idea.
Also a median section through the apothecia showing the excipular cells (perhaps in KOH) would be helpful.

                Dear Martin, Is unitunicate or bitunicate? Macromorphology and characters for me resembles to Rhytidysteron, but its a Patellariaceae. You could see the paper: Murillo, C. et al. 2009. Molecular data indicate that Rhytidhysteron rufulum (ascomycetes, Patellariales) in Costa Rica consists of four distinct lineages corroborated by morphological and chemical characters. Mycological Research 113: 405-416. Rhizodiscina lignyota has brown  and inequilateral spores, and the base of asci are narrow and long. I hope you find it helpfull. Best wishes Luis.

                Hi Luis,
I don't have seen Rhytidisteron and Odontotrema either. I am looking forward to some new micros of Irina for further discussion. Rhizodicina was just a spontaneous guess...

                Bonjour à tous, 
For Luis ; now the genus Rhytidhysteron is now in Hysteriaceae (See Boehm and al. in a recent SIM). Itsn't one of them here.
I don't think it could be Rhizodiscina too, as Luis. Here we need a median vertical section, as Zotto said, and perhaps more precisions about ascospores.

                Here is some more ascospores (septate and non-septate) and stained apical pore. 
Actually, staining was rather weak.
Unfortunately I have no possibility to make photos with better resolution:(
Placed in KOH 3 %, ascocarps began to extract bright cherry-colored pigment!
I'll tried to make a section, but it was all dark because of this pigment.

                Here are some ascospores (septate and non-septate from the same specimen) and apical pore in IKI.
Actually, staining was rather weak.
Unfortunately I haven't opportunity to make photos with better resolution:(
Being placed in KOH 3%, ascocarps begin to extract bright cherry-colored pigment!
I also tried to do a cross-section.

                Re:Odontotrema or something strange?
                Did you see the red pigment extruding into the medium? My idea is a Dermea (which shows such a strong iononmidotic reaction in KOH), but on Acer I do not know if this is possible.

                My ideas turned around Dermea, or other Dermataceae, too. But without concrete idea.

                Dear Zotto, Alain, Martin,
Yes, I saw bright red pigment.
Maybe, collector made a mistake concerning substrate...
Is anyone interested in this specimen (from Ukraine, Kharkiv district)?
I can send doubles to everyone who will have time to take a look on them.

                I have some samples of this species from Ukraine (both anamorph and teleomorph).
Some of them were tested by Dr. Popov from Russia.
If you interested, I can send you duplicates for your collection.

This would be surely great to have a look at them. But even more happy I would be if you have macro- and microillustrations of that species. Do you?
