Orange discs... Orbilia?
Juuso Äikäs, 20-06-2019 14:58
I found these in a small grove, growing on a fallen trunk of a deciduous tree (Alnus incana and Prunus padus were the dominant trees). I've seen some photos and microphotos of Orbilia species and there seem to be similarities, so that would be my uninformed guess.

The spores were tiny, allantoid, about 2.5 x 1 micrometers in size. Photographing was quite difficult as they were spinning in the liquid. The asci were ca. 30 x 3 ?m. Paraphyses mostly capitate, some filiform.

Any thoughts about the genus/species?

Orbilia delicatula

... as far as the name ist still current (former xanthostigma).


Best, Lothar

Re : Orange discs... Orbilia?
We returned to O. xanthostigma by using O. leucostigma for the white taxon, as in old times. Within Europe it is easy to give these two names for the yellow and white populations. In both the curved spores are warted when looking with oil immersion. And they are not forms but very distant species.

Re : Orange discs... Orbilia?
OK, so Orbilia xanthostigma it is then. And I guess the spores are reniform rather than allantoid. Thanks to both of you. A new genus and species for me!

Re : Orange discs... Orbilia?
Wel, reniform, cashew-shaped, or even allantoid, why not.
