Hello,I have here a large Mollisia (approx. 3 mm, if I remember correctly) from riparian forest, growing in a small wet clearing on the base of decaying Carex cf. riparia. Apothecia light greyish, flat.
Ectal excipulum of light brown globose cells, with hyaline margin. Medulla = t. intricata with some inflated cells.
Spores *(8)8.8-11.6(12.9) × (1.8)1.9-2.2(2.3) um, X = 10.2 × 2.1 um, Q = 4.3-5-5.7 , OCI ca. 1.
No crystals, KOH+, IKI+b, H-.
Can I call it M. deuncinata?
Thank you in advance.
Viktorie

Re : Mollisia deuncinata?
I see no reason to doubt this ID. A goos species which needs to be described.
That all pics are upside down has no reason I assume :-)

Re : Mollisia deuncinata?
Dear Zotto,
thank you for confirmation. Sorry about the pics, just forgot to rotate them (or the section on slide).
In case you ever need the collection data: CZ, Olomouc, Cernovirske slatiniste forest, riparian forest, a wet clearing with tall sedges, cca 49°37'51.8" 17°15'54.2", on the base of decaying Carex cf riparia, leg. 27. IX. 2021. There is a specimen, but it's damaged by a long stay in the fridge and not good for a herbarium.
