Asco qui teint en rouge

Merci, Alan

I have found this stained wood on the dead branch - without bark - of a living tree (Quercus). Close by are some very small fruit bodies with minor staining beneath - with the same colour. The fruit bodies seem to have a rim and contain many developing ascos. But I have not found any individual spores. From Sheffield, England. Does anyone recognise this?

Re : Asco qui teint en rouge
the spores can be seen inside the asci. it seems a discomycete, judging from the microscopy. but this needs higher resolution

Re : Asco qui teint en rouge
thank you, Hans-Otto
It is the red staining of the wood that I find unusual here, so rather than find a definite species, I wonder whether it can be identified to a genus or to a number of possibilities?

Hi Alan,
some ascomycetes color the substrate redly, here a few examples.
Greetings Peter.
