this species inhabits Rubus fruticosus, Rubus sp., and here it was found on Rubus chamaemorus leaves in bogs, quite common. I have read the discussion here about similarity between M. acerina, M. acantophila and M. rubi (
http://www.ascofrance.fr/search_forum/23832)

The next measurements were in my specimen:
Apothecia cupulate, 250–370 mk in diameter, short-stipitate, outer surface short-pubescent, whitish to creamy overall, scattered on both surfaces of fallen leaves and petioles.
Excipulum from hyaline textura prismatica, outer and edge cells covered by warts and longer processes; asci 36.2–46 x 4.7–5.8 mk, without crozier, with small ring blueing in YKY; paraphyses cylindrical, obtuse, about 2.3 mk broad, the same long as asci; spores 6.4 (5.7–8.1) x 2.5 (2.2–2.7) mk, Q=2.6 (n=8; vital measurements).

If it possible to ask somebody to send me related article? RAITVIIR, A. 2004. Revised synopsis of the Hyaloscyphaceae. Scripta Mycologica 20: 1-133

Thanks in advance).

Re : Mollisina rubi from Rubus chamaemorus

Hi Nina,
I agree M. rubi. You get a Raitviir 2004 in a few minutes. See there also M. acanthophila, it is in the synonymes list of M rubi also.

cheers,
Stip
