Assume you have some micros too?

Hi Zotto,

For some reason with my computer the scroll bar doesn't work on the page but if I use the arrows on the keypad (or touchscreen) you can scroll down to the micros.

Cheers,

Now I see the micros. Thomas, you may remember our meeting in Sheffield, where I made a drawing of this fungus. It is in my folder Loricella, Rubus-leaf, HB 9515, in the Calloriaceae. Up to now I am unaware of a description of this species, maybe except for Naevia vitellina Kirschst. which was on Aegopodium (HB 6659, type).

Calloria circinella Pat. and Naevia lutescens Rehm are similar but have shorter spores and lack croziers. Pezizella orbilioides is also similar but has an amyloid excipulum and much larger apos. Loricella juncina has large apos and much larger spores, and maybe it shares merely the hooked paraphyses. Some more species are in my folder.

The VBs in the paraphyses were so far only seen in the ones on Rubus and in one on Castanea cupules (HB 9933), but for several of the above the living state was not studied. For HB 9933 I even have a sequence (KT876981) which goes a bit towards Hyaloscypha, but none exists for the present fungus on Rubus.

Yes, I vaguely remember the Sheffield-fungus. Thanks for refreshing my memory.
