Vitus SchäfftleinHello, I found Trochila ilicina on Ilex aquifoliu
I'd like to know your opinion on these small (0.2-0.4) broadly sessile, with a hymenium with olivaceous hues and a brownish black, not hairy, excipulum. It is possible they grew from a shield of hyphae, but I'm not sure. They were found on Carex leaves together with Caricinella species, at 1700 m.
Ascospores 1-septate even inside the living asci, without sheath. Paraphyses with some VBs covered by a greenish mucilagous covering. Ectal excipulum textura globulosa of brownish roundish cells,a s in the margin.
I have explored Scutomollisia, Hysteronaevia and other related genera of fungi on Cyperaceae but without success.
Could yo help me?
Thanks again
From your scale I measure the spores as 17-22 x 3.2-3.6 µm, which is still wider than in my sample. Graddon says 12-16 x 2-2.5 µm.
But I saw strongly refractive VBs, while in yours I can hardly see them.
Zotto
Thank you, Zotto. Jesus is now collecting more fresh material for me. Tomorrow I'll study more young ascomata for to have a better idea of the paraphyses content.
I'll keep you informed
Hi Zotto
I could study fresh material sent to me by Jesus, and I could see the greenish refractive content of the young paraphyses that seems dissapear soon. By the other hand they are allways covered by a greenish mucous amorphous substance.
So. it seems to be a good Scutomollisia and integromarginata seems to fit well with my fungus.
Thanks a lot
