Bonsoir tous
A recent good collection of Incrucipulum ciliare encouraged me to have a detailed look at this fungus.
The addition of Lugol's showed a very convincing hemiamyloid reaction of the ascus tips, but what intrigued me was the fact that a similar effect (glycogen concentration?) was observable at the tips of the spores - of both those within the asci and those already expelled. It was difficult to make out, but this staining seemed to be connected in some cases to a kind of 'cap' at the ends of the spores.
I wonder if other AF members have noticed this phenomenon?
