Hi Maren
Did you consider the possibility that it is a Dematioscypha? Are there any hyphomycete in the vicinity of the apothecia?

Ah, these are discrete, not too dense warts! Funny, and not unlike Hyphodiiscus. Anyway I am unsure and cannot remember such a fungus. This definitely excludes a Pyrenopeziza.

Hi Maren,

Do you do cultures & sequencing? This could well a member of the Hyphodiscus "family" as suggested. It would be interesting to place this one.

Hi Timo,
unfortunately, as a amateurmycologist I don't do cultures and have only had one fungus sequenced so far, so I haven't any experience with it.
If you are interested, I can send you the fungus for this purpose.

Maren

Hi Maren and Timo,
 
If you got material from Maren, and if your sequencing is successful, please let me know if it is this species or not:

I will load my sequence of such a species to GB when I have filled a gap of 300 nt in the LSU.

Best regards,

allright. I'll let you know how it goes. ---trying not to draw too much conclusions from ITS seq, but maybe this Guy's sequence is of a non aff. Hyphodiscus species?? It deviates a lot from the median Hyphodiscus seqs. ...an Encoelia???
