Tiny asco on Fallopia
Camille Mertens, 03-04-2023 12:39
Hi all.

Collected on Fallopia end of january.
Spores slighty curved, guttulated, wrapped in a sheet : 11-12 x 3,6-3,9 µm
Ascus with croziers, IKI (-)
Branched paraphysis.

Seems to me closed to Allophylaria "petasites" on Zotto's webside illutrations.
An idea?
Best regards.

Camille

Hi Camille

that is indeed similar, although Björn measured (9-)10,3-12,4x2,6-3µm.

Your IKI I do not much trust, or you need to remove the KOH better, or even better let KOH away and show what IKI does.

The marginal excipulum doe snot look like an Allophylaria, in Björn's specimen the cells are elongate and thick-walled (gel). Did you also see VBs in the paraphyses that get red-brown in IKI by extruding red granules?

Re : Tiny asco on Fallopia
Hi Hans

I agree this does not fit an Allophylaria.
IKI was negative. Therefore I tried KOH pretreatment.
I cannot remember a red-brown reaction in IKI.
I add a photo of paraphysis in Crb.
Many thanks.

Re : Tiny asco on Fallopia
Sorry, these paraphyses are dead, there I cannot see anything. They must be alive, best in water. Not sure how to proceed. The excipulum near the base could be helpful too.

I see a minute reactive (amyloid) ring in your ascus (KOH+IKI). But since the photo does not show any iodine colour (yellow-brown), I wonder how this would turn at higher IKI concentration.
