Yellow Hymenoscyphus?

Hello dear all,Recently I've found this yellow one on petioles of Fraxinus. I had many other collections this time and didn't explored it in fresh condition:( Nevertheless, maybe you will have ideas about it?
I think it is Hymenoscyphus but not sure. Maybe Phaeohelotium?
Spores in average (30 spores) 12,9 x 5,5 um, Q=2,35
Asci dead, approx. 90 x 12 um, apex of Hymenoscyphus-type (??), blueing in IKI
Croziers bad visible, but almost surely present. Paraphyses almost not visible.
There are also hairs up to 100 um long, 5-6 um wide, that are a bit confusing (see photo).
Thank you in advance,
Iryna

Re : Yellow Hymenoscyphus?
Hi Irina
the apical ring is of the Sclerotiniaceae-type. The sample reminds me of Rutstroemia luteovirescens, but that is on Acer. There is an American species on Fraxinus petioles which was rarely also recorded in Europe: R. longipes. We discuss it in the H. fraxineus paper. I think there are real similarities with your sample. I attach a macro from the web:

If you have the opportunity to collect this again please do vital studies, the living asci and paraphyses have never been figured.

Re : Yellow Hymenoscyphus?
Dear Zotto,
Thank you very much!
I'm afraid I will not be able to recollect it now, becaue actually a collection was made on 2 September and now I feel that there will be only Lanzia luteovirescens, but I'll keep it in mind.
This specimen was macroscopically different from L.luteovirescens in yellow color (without green tint) and short stalk. I know that the stalk is variable, but there were 5-6 fruibodies and all short-stalked.
I'll subscribe it as Rutstroemia cf. longipes for now and try to recollect it, than I'll send you information about living structures if you are interested.
Best regards,
Iryna

Re : Yellow Hymenoscyphus?
I also think that we must not take stalk length as a character, except for species that are unable to form long stalks (many Phaeohelotium).
I see on the photos that I have of this species that short-stalked apos actually occur (CUP_015905a), also in White 1941 p. 210.
