Patrice TANCHAUDBonsoir, récolte sur un mur en pierre, apothéci

Patrice TANCHAUDBonsoir, récolte à proximité du milieu dunaire

Hello,
found today and at first glance taken for a small Mollisia, but minutely stipitate (seen only under dissecting microscope). The fresh apothecia have a very faint greyish-violaceous hue, so that Ascocoryne or Ombrophila would be fitting macroscopically, though apothecia are only apr. 1 mm in diameter.
Asci without croziers, deep blue IKI reaction (Calycina-type I suppose)
Paraphyses cylindrical, with one cylindrical vacuolar body appr. 20-30 µm long, medium rfractive, strongly stainied by IKI
Spores fusoid to long-elliptic, hyaline, without septae, oil content 5, appr. 25 x 7 µm
Ectal Excipulum a textura oblita from stipe to cup margin, ending in cylindrical inconspicous protrudings with the same small vacuolar body as the paraphyses.
Scattered on bare dead wood of a Salix caprea stem
Any hints welcome :-)
thank you and best regards,
Andreas
no idea by anyone?
Thanks and all the best,
Andreas
vielen Dank!
ist das die Cyathicula macrospora aus deiner alten Schlüsselversion (2006)?
Da war ich auch gelandet, aber irgendwas passte nicht so recht. Schön dass es geklärt ist.
Ist die Art häufig? Ich hatte sie noch nie bisher ...
LG, Andreas
