Small Hymenoscyphus on Robinia petioles

Hi all,
in December, I found small Hymenoscyphus on old petioles of Robinia pseudoacacia. Frutibodies had a diameter around 1 mm (the biggest one 1,5 mm) and similar height. The young fruitbodies was yellow, elderly was lighter.
Asci without croziers, IKI+, Mlz+ (without KOH pretreatment), 90-112×7,7-10,7 µm, spores 16,6-24,5×3,7-5,6 µm (measured in fresh state).
Do not you have any tip?
Thanks
Roman

Re : Small Hymenoscyphus on Robinia petioles
My guess is H. scutula. A blackish stroma seems to be absent, and spore size looks good. very short setulae seem to be present.
Living paraphyses you did not study?

Re : Small Hymenoscyphus on Robinia petioles
Hi Roman and Zotto,
Based on ascus length a typical H. vitellinus, which I collected a.o. on petioles of Fraxinus. But I do not know if molecular studies accepted H. vitellinus and H. scutula being separate species.

Hi Bernard!
Molecular studies on Hymenosc. scutula are sparse!
Chinese H. scutula (KC416308, KC416309) is Cyathicula coronata (!)
Japanese H. scutula (AB926114) might be good, or more probably
New York (small town Cuba) H. scutula (KC481695), which has 10 nt distance from the next:
Swiss sample (ZT 4292) not in GenBank which is very close to a Netherlands sample in CBS 101.66
And that's it!

Re : Small Hymenoscyphus on Robinia petioles
Hi Zotto and Bernard,
thank you. My first opinion was Hymenoscyphus scutula too. But in the Beranrd's key is written that apos should have reddening. I did not notice that.
Zotto, I'm sorry, but I forgot to thoroughly explore paraphyses.

Re : Small Hymenoscyphus on Robinia petioles
Reddening is a consequence of the presence of striking VB-guttules in the paraphyses, and in most typical Hymenoscyphus species they occur. I think your seond photo shows a reddish hymenium.

Zotto,
thank you for your explanation. There is a hint of redness on a larger picture.
