Hello,

during my last expedition in the "Nationalpark Eifel", Germany, I found something interesting, just one fruitbody which looks like a Ciboria-species, but I am not sure if it is. With Medardi-Key (Ascomiteci d'Italia) it goes up to a "Ciboria polygoni-vivipari", which grows on soil and between mosses. Also spores are very similar...but I have no further literatur for it and that is the reason I am asking here ;) as always ^^

Fruitbody about 3-12 mm, cupulate with a short stalk, grey-brown to ochraceous, similar to Ciboria amentacea.
Spores 12,5 - 15 x 4-4,5, ellipsoid, smooth, with 2-3 bigger guttules and several smaller ones (OCI: 4-5). Asci with 8 spores. Paraphyses filiform, no swollen apex, without remarkable guttules.
I am sorry for bad description, I hadn't any chemical utilities when I found this "Ciboria", now I have some ;)

Well the fruitbody seems to grow on wet soil between mosses, I checked it out but I didn't found any plant debris...

Is it a Ciboria? Or perhaps something near Ciboria? Like Ciborinia? I checked my database but it didn't help :(

thanks for help,
cheers, Kazuya
