Cistellina-Hyphodiscus on Nemania serpens?
Marc Detollenaere, 10-03-2020 20:50
Marc Detollenaere

Dear Forum,


Sunday I found an old Nemania serpens with some small cream-coloured apothecia on it.


They had clavate hairs(19-25x6µ) with blunt tuberculate warts. No KOH reaction.


Asci measured 26-43x5.5µ and had croziers. Spores were hyaline and biguttulate(4.3-4.8x2.2µ);


Cistellina stereicola seems to be close but is associated with Stereum instead of Nemania.


Any idea?

How about ascus amyloidity?

Hmm, I can hardly see it, but I believe.

Cistella is not eay, but why not again C. geelmuydenii, like the one of William Slosse

Thank you for your answer Zotto.


Do you think geelmuydenii is still possible although IKI only gives a mild blue coloration of the upper part of the apical apparatus. I used IKI several times but no hemiamyloidity was seen.

Re : Cistellina-Hyphodiscus on Nemania serpens?
I am not sure. How high was the concentration? Did you try KOH-pretreatment? Or Melzer? Both could clarify if the reaction is enhanced (KOH, after washing add IKI or MLZ) or suppressed (MLZ).

Re : Cistellina-Hyphodiscus on Nemania serpens?

Good morning Zotto,


I used both Melzer and Lugol after pretreatment with KOH. In Melzer a had a minimal blue coloration, in Lugol the blue was more pronounced.


I cannot tell you what the concentrations are but both products came from mykoshop.

Re : Cistellina-Hyphodiscus on Nemania serpens?
o.k., sorry for the inconvenience. Not much clearer, probably not only because of the unsharpness.

I must admit I am not really an expert of Cistella, and my identifications are therefore only tentative. For a thorough comparison of available docus and literature I have no time.

In the type of Pezizella roseoflavida which I have restudied I noted IKI light dirty reddish, MLZ-, after KOH MLZ light blue. The hemiamyloid (dirty red) reaction is well visible on a photo collage by Matthias Reul of a sample by Torsten Richter (#7574) in my folder (no KOH-pretreatment shown).

It is clearly a very difficult group.
