Hello,I need advice. Microscopy today I Trichophaea sp. and I can not draw a conclusion. Found in July 2012 in the wet rotting stump, apparently Salix sp., or Betula sp .. Apothecia size up to 5 mm. Preparation done in Melzer´s reagent. Asco non-amyloid, spores broadly elliptical, 16-18 × 10.5-13.5 µm, Q-1, 4 . Hairs up to 200 µm long, planted on the surface excipula. I thought that it was a kind of Trichophaea salicina, but I have no information about it in terms of microscopy. Thanks for any ideas. Martin.

Re : Trichophaea sp.
Hi Martin,
This should Trichophaea livida (Schumach.) Boud. be, even if the spores are very broad. The ornament fits very well. T. salicina is to Bronckers one nomen dubium.
