Today we found this discomycete in Stuttgart, on a wall besides a garden. The apothecia were greyish and greenish-yellow when drying.
The asci are without croziers and euamyloid (Calycina-type). The spores are about 9-10/3,5-4 µm, with a lot of oil in large drops when alive. The paraphyses and partly the margo cells contain large yellow vacuolar bodies.
I think there can be no doubt about the determination even if I do not have literature (?) - and in the internet I do not find much.
Can the determination be confirmed by somebody?

no doubt, at least if you have it on Viburnum tinus.
But that species has croziers like all Trochilas that I know, and I think I see one on the upper right of your third micro, unsharp but a clear "V".
Strange that TRochila is related to Encoelia furfuracea and Velutarina, at least it has the same greenish-yellowish VBs.

Hi Zotto,
thank you very much - yes, it was on Viburnum tinus (I forgot). I will have a look at the croziers later, I have overlooked them possibly.
Best regards from Lothar
P.S. Do you know of finds in Germany? - and where is T. tini described accurately?
P.S. The yellow-green VBs are very characteristic - yes, I know them from Velutarina, too. I must admit: I never had Encoelia furfuracea under the microscope :-)

I think I never saw the original description by Grelet & Crozals 1928. I know the fungus from a sample by Ted Batten from Worcestershire, and I have Enrique's pretty docu from Navarra.

Thank you very much, Zotto!
Thus: possibly first find in Germany?
Regards from Lothar
