François BartholomeeusenGood morning,At the end of an excursion in De Zegg
I recently found this Cistella growing on dead leaves of Cladium mariscus.
Apothecia are creamy-white, sessile, < ca 150 µm diam.
Excipulum is a textura angularis.
Asci are 19-25 x 5-6 µm; 8-spored; IKI+ blue; apparently arising from simple septa.
Spores are 6-7 x 1.5 µm; with small oil bodies ca 5% of cell volume (occasionally up to 10%).
Paraphyses are filiform, sometimes branched; 1 µm wide.
Hairs are hyaline, granular above; not septate; lageniform; 12-19 µm long; 3-4 µm wide at base, and 2 µm wide above.
I initially suspected it would be Cistella fugiens, but the hairs are mostly lageniform rather than clavate or cylindrical, so I wonder whether it could be C. lagenipilus.
I'd be grateful for any help.
Marcus
