Hyphodiscus species
Marcus Yeo, 01-12-2013 22:33
This discomycete was growing on a decorticated fallen branch of a deciduous tree in woodland. Most apothecia were growing on an indeterminate fungal crust, some were growing directly on wood.

Apothecia are sessile, ca 0.3 mm diameter; the hymenium is light brown with incurved margins.


Excipulum is a textura oblita, strongly gelatinised.


Hairs are 10-20 x 3-4 µm; very rough; with yellow pigment.


Asci are 40-45 x 5 µm, 8-spored, with a weak red reaction in IKI.


Spores are 5-6 (-7) x 2-3 µm, with 2 small oil bodies.


Paraphyses are ca 1-1.5 µm wide, with non-refractive contents.


The combination of characters indicate a Hyphodiscus. The closest fit seems to be H. hymeniophilus, but I'm not sure whether some of the characters (e.g. hairs with yellow pigment) fit this species.

I'd be grateful for any advice.

Thanks

Marcus

Hi Marcus

Yes, Hyphodiscus. But I am not sure if the  spores fit hymeniophilus. The yellow pigment is not a constant character.

It is a very difficult genus!

Many thanks for your reply. If you think it is a difficult genus, then there is little hope for the rest of us!

The other species I considered is the taxon you call H. "hemiamyloideus" but the spores didn't seem quite right in size and guttulation.

Re : Hyphodiscus species
yes, hemiamyloideus is not impossible but tends to shorter spores.

was it impossible to see a reddish IKI reaction?

Re : Hyphodiscus species
Yes, there was a definite red reaction in IKI - not very strong, but definitely present.
