Hi Enrique, did you find crystals in the excipulum ?

what a wonderful collection!!! I don't think it is turbinatus. Why not conocephali? Surely, the spores are too narrow, but: 1. The apical ring in turbinatus is Calycina-type, conocephali is Hymenoscyphus-type. 2. The living paraphyses of B. turbinatus are eguttulate.
Conclusion: B. turbinatus is no Bryoscyphus at all. In fact, an unpublished phylotree by Marie Davy shows it to be with Arachnopeziza!
I think you have at least something very close to B. conocephali, and I am especially happy because this is the first time I see this species alive, which is the type of the genus.

Hi MIchel and Zotto
No, Michel. I don't find crystals in the excipulum but I couldn't study well it because I have only two apothecia.
Really very interesting your advices, Zotto. I was thinking that  is was not conocephali because the ascospores described by Kirk and Spooner are very polymorphic and broader.
Do you want my pics at higher resolution?
Many thanks to both
