Encoelia impudicella?
Hulda Caroline Holte, 25-03-2026 10:35
Hello,
I collected this species growing on a dead branch (broken off a tree) of Picea abies on the 4th of march, in Buskerud county, Norway.
The apothecia are up to 2,5mm wide and 2mm tall. The hymenium has a hazelnut brown color and the outside is slightly lighter. The outer side is granular to felty and often has lighter tufts of short hairs at the margin. The flanks frequently tears in older specimens. The apothecia grows in groups of 2-6 arising from a common structure resembling, but somewhat different from, a sclerotium. The "sclerotia" start off small and black/dark brown before increasing in size and turning lighter brown with a cracked surface. The inside is light brown.

Medulla of textura intricata and possibly with crystals. The hyphae are about 2-4 µm wide.


Asci IKI+ bb, with croziers (possibly a bit variable)
24-29,76 x 3,36-3,84 µm


The paraphyses are cyllindric-clavate, scarcely septate and with some drops. The paraphyses measure up to 3,3µm at the tips.


The spores are thinly allantoid, sometimes with small LBs near the ends. OCI 0/1
(4,8)5,8-6,2 x1-1,5µm


All measurements were taken from living cells in water. The spores were incredibly difficult to measure and photograph due to their small, narrow shape and constant shifting, so the spore measurements might not be 100% accurate. I apologize for the subpar photos and I can try to take more if needed.


The description of Cenangium impudicellum (synonym of E. impudicella) in P. Karst., Bidrag Kännedom Finlands Natur Folk 19: 219 (1871) is the closest match that I have found, but the asci are noted there as being inamyloid. I have struggled to find newer collections of this species to compare my specimen with and I would be grateful for any input.


Thank you in advance and best regards,
Hulda

Re : Encoelia impudicella?
Curious collection! I think E. impudicella is a good choice, but I also know it inamyloid from my study of a specimen on Picea from Luxembourg and from photos by R. Blasco on Pinus.
