Trichopeziza sp. (?) on Phragmites australis

Koszka Attila, 09-11-2019 19:52

Today I find this fungus, on reed. I think it is a Trichopeziza sp. Can anybody help in the identification?

Apothecia without stalk, 0,5-2 mm in diameter, hymenium pale purple.
Asci inoperculate, clearly inamyloid, base with or without croziers.
Paraphyses tips rounded (not lanceolate), not protruding.
Spores biseriate, with a single septa, 16-21 x 2-3 micrometers.
Hairs incrusted, with blunt end.

Thanks for any help!

Dear Attila
Great collection! This is Perrotia distincta (= P. phragmiticola). Was this a lying or a standing culm? P. distincta should be drought-tolerant.

Would you mind sending me the collection data? Since a long time I am preparing an article on Perrotia.

Re : Trichopeziza sp. (?) on Phragmites australis

Wow, many thanks! So that is why it does not fit well to any Trichopeziza :-)

It grows on standing culm, on the shore of a quarry. In the reeds, near this Perrotia I find Peziza pauli, Mycena belliae and Pholiota pityrodes (as companion species).

The collection place: Hungary, Oroszlány, Mindszentpuszta-quarry.

In september-october, the weather was very drought in Hungary, only a few days ago have we copious rain.

Good luck You for the article!

Re : Trichopeziza sp. (?) on Phragmites australis

Ah, this is good. And is this quarry outside of Mindszentpuszta, which direction?

It is a pity that you mounted the fungus in a lethal medium. Living spores look very different and are larger.

Re : Trichopeziza sp. (?) on Phragmites australis

Dear Zotto!

The sample was re-examined in H2O. It is interesting to see the differences between the living an dead material indeed.

The exact collection place is 47°26'05.5"N 18°19'29.1"E

Many thanks for the identification!

Re : Trichopeziza sp. (?) on Phragmites australis

Very good! And it is 26 km ESE of Mindszentpuszta.

Koszka Attila, 10-11-2019 10:31

Re : Trichopeziza sp. (?) on Phragmites australis

No, Mindszentpuszta is a historical village in the forest, near Oroszlány.

Oroszlány is a town present day.

Re : Trichopeziza sp. (?) on Phragmites australis

You should type te name "Oroszlány Mindszentpuszta" into the Google maps.

In Hungary, we have an another locality too under the name "Mindszentpuszta".

o.k., this misled me.
