me mandan el material seco de Galicia (España)
This discomycete was growing on fallen twigs (of Quercus or Fagus) in litter in lowland woodland. Details as follows:
Apothecia: creamy white, short-stalked, <1.5 mm diameter, hairy on outer surface and stalks.
Excipulum: textura prismatica.
Asci: 55-65 x 5-6 µm, arising from croziers, apices blue in IKI.
Spores: (8-)9-11(-12) x 2-2.5 µm, with a few small oil bodies at each end.
Paraphyses: broadly lanceolate, multi-septate, no VBs, 60-70 x 5-7 µm, exceeding asci by 5-10 µm.
Hairs: 45-60 x 3-5 µm, hyaline, septate, tapering to apex, smooth, sometimes with oil drops adhering to walls.
I assume it belongs to the Lachnaceae but I'm struggling to put a name to it. I'd be grateful for any help.
Many thanks
Marcus
exquisite!!
Colipila masduguana. Do you have my paper on this?
Colipila, a new genus in the HelotialesHans-Otto Baral & Guy Garcia & Mesfin Bogale &Matthew J. O'Hara & Wendy A. Untereiner, in Mycological Progress 2012
Please lok whether the pores of the wood are large (Quercus, ring-pored) or small (Fagus). Usually it was on Castanea or Quercus. Only known from France so far.

Many thanks as ever for your invaluable help! I've just had a look at your images of Colipila masduguana and my specimen certainly has the same distinctive features as your collections.
I don't have your paper in Mycological Progress.
I'll check the substrate to see what species it is.

Much appreciated
