Ecology: I found it on brightly reddish colored parts of a decaying Basidiomycete (The polypore Antrodia serialis) on a Pinus log.

Macro: Apothecia up to approx. 0.8 mm, disc light brown, margin white, excipulum brownish towards the base.

Micro: Asci 40-55 x 5-7 ?m, pleurorhynch, Porus reddish grey in IKI, blue in IKI after KOH treatment. Paraphyses cylindric, 1.5-2 ?m diameter. Spores ellipsoid, with two small drops at each end, often somewhat asymmetric, 6-7 x 2.0-2.6 ?m. Hairs cylindric, 2.5-3.5 ?m diameter, covered with spinulose cristals, frequently septate, distal part mostly < 30 ?m. The hyphae that form the hairs are continuously getting shorter septate, distinctly thick walled and brownish towards the base, forming a textura prismatica. There are no distinct colour reactions of the hairs or excipulum (sometimes partly pinkish in KOH).

Thanks for any help,
Stefan
