The apos were fairly tough and yellowing.
Asci with croziers, IKI+, paraphyses with VBs. If I interpreted correctly, the medullary excipulum is of textura intricata and ectal excipulum of textura prismatica.
Spores:
(15.7) 16.7 - 18.9 (20.5) × (4) 4.3 - 4.9 (5) µm
Q = (3.2) 3.7 - 4 (5.1) ; N = 20
Me = 17.8 × 4.6 µm ; Qe = 3.9
Might someone know what the species could be?

Re : White Hymenoscyphus
Well, this is the most comkmon discomycete since about 20 years: H. fraxineus, cause of the ash dieback disease. Differs from H. fraxineus merely by having croziers.
Both on blackened Fraxinus petioles.

Hi Zotto
Do you know if H. fraxineus has been found in Spain? I only see H.albidus.

Re : White Hymenoscyphus
Ok then, thank you! H. pseudoalbidus is apparently an older name for it. Fraxinus isn't at all common here and I'm not too familiar with it. I thought it would be more tree-like. Or maybe that's some other plant and the petioles came from a nearby tree?

Re : White Hymenoscyphus
I am still unaware of Spanish record. Even in Poitou-Charente I am not sure.
Certainly these are Fraxdinus petioles. The transsect should be bilateral-symmetrical (flattened).

Re : White Hymenoscyphus
It seems that Spanish ash trees are strong and still resist the advance of this fungus.
On the one hand I want to see the fungus, but on the other I don't.
Thanks, Zotto.

Re : White Hymenoscyphus
I can hardly believe that. maybe the climate is not good for the fungus, or the Pyrenees form a barrier. But in Croatia it occurs since many years.

Re : White Hymenoscyphus
It is hard to believe but it seems that there is no rapid spread by birds etc. but only by wind via a few 100 m per year. The height of the Pyrenees should not be a reason because in the Alps it occurs up to the subalpine region.

Re : White Hymenoscyphus
And what is worse: it jumps on Oleaceae other then Fraxinus:
as Phillyrea, native to mediterranian countries...

That's very interesting.
Thank you, Martin.
