Bonjour
récolte sur épicéa, spores 62-83 x 3-3,6 µm.
Me semble conforme à Stictis friabilis.
Merci d'avance pour vos avis éventuels.

Re : Stictis friabilis ?
Yes, this could be. Did you test IKI and KOH+IKI, the hymenium/asci must be entirely inamyloid.

Thanks Zotto. Here is a photo.

Re : Stictis friabilis ?
Oh this speaks against friabilis. But it cannot be that a positive reaction in IKI turns negative after KOH. It looks as if you did not wash enough with water (KOH neutralizes iodine by forming KI).
Another possibility could be Karstenia idaei. I think this possible confusion could be ruled out by a section of the margin.

Re : Stictis friabilis ?
So it is clearly amyloid! The margin needs to be a section, otherwise I am lost. But Stictis usually has crystals, Karstenia not.

Re : Stictis friabilis ?
Here, in your DVD, you note "no crystals".

Re : Stictis friabilis ?
Yes, this may be so. But I found S. friabilis completely inamyloid, with or without KOH.

Re : Stictis friabilis ?
Here, good KOH and very good IKI, and a good preparer ...

Re : Stictis friabilis ?
I see Karstenia idaei here : https://mushroomobserver.org/image/show_image/400197?obs=157228
The blue color is probably due to IKI or melzer and looks like what I got.
It's not easy to find the differences for an amateur between S. friabilis et K. idaei ...

Re : Stictis friabilis ?
Perhaps a closeup macro would help? I was thinking that there is some macroscopical difference between the two genera.
Karstenia is now in Odontotremataceae and Stictis in Stictidaceae (when you look in my folders).
I would perhaps see clear with a median section of the margin, I know it is not easy but possible (with a razor blade).

Re : Stictis friabilis ?
Yes, I think this looks more like a Karstenia. K. idaei has finally up to 15 septa as I remember.

Spores in melzer.

Re : Stictis friabilis ?
C'est si bon :-)
We come to an end I feel. Sherwood does not mention the number of speta, but figures 8-12. She says J- for the paraphyses and nothing for the asci. Since she used MLZ and does not state whether she applied KOH, her data are uncertain. But given that my HB 7242c is correctly identified, I conclude that K. idaei is the much better solution.

Re : Stictis friabilis ?
Thank you Zotto for all your explanations. I had not noticed the existence of K. idaei with similar spores and distinguishing them is not easy.

Re : Stictis friabilis ?
Bonjour,
je reviens sur cette discussion car je vois également l'existence de K. gregaria (absent du DVD de Zotto) et je ne vois pas où sont les différences avec K. idaei.
Merci d'avance à toutes personnes informées.
I come back to this discussion because I also see the existence of K. gregaria (missing from Zotto's DVD) and I do not see where are the differences with K. idaei.
Thank you in advance to all informed people.

Re : Stictis friabilis ?
Bonjour Patrice
you are right, this is an alternative. But maybe it is only a synonym, Graddon seems to have neglected K. idaei as he did not mention it. The spores are longer than in most of the data in my folder, but one by Enrique Rubio (V.2015) has up to 75.
