helotiaceae ?

23-02-2009 20:47
En forme de coupe ou coussinet ,sessile, 0,2 à 1 mm de diamètre,en troupe sur une petite branche de pin noir.
spores septées 10-12x2,5-3
asques 70x10
paraphyses septées 65x2,5 parfois légèrement enflées au sommet
I+ visible q'après passage dans KOH.
J'avais pensé à Phaeohelotium subcarneum , mais les spores ici sont septées.
merci de votre aide.

Re:helotiaceae ?
Hi Michel
that will be very difficult to resolve. First, if you tried to identify with Breitenbach & Kränzlin, that subcarneum there is Hymenoscyphus/Phaeohelotium imberbis.
Yours has a Calycina-type of apical ring and therefore should belong in the Hyaloscyphaceae. Important are the oil drops in the spores which are quite large.
It could be a Calycina. but the only one I have with 1-septate spores on conifer: "Septopezizella" oreadum, has spores with only few small LBs.
Could you please check whether the ring is hemiamyloid (red in Lugol)? And whether the asci have croziers? Further, could you make a mount in water without pressing, in order to see the living asci and especially paraphyses and their contents? Are there any short hairs on the exterior?

Hi Michel & Zotto,
I was thinking about pseudohelotium sordidulum but there are the spores too short, croziers are present for sure, you can tell from the CR photo with 2 CR+ attachment points.

Re:helotiaceae ?
yes, Stip, Pseudohelotium is a good idea. But I also can't remember a species with such short spores. Croziers +, yes, clearly!

Re:helotiaceae ?
Thank you Zotto and Stip for your answer.
1. I don't see any hairs with my magnifying glass.
2.Here included the pictures you asked me for.

Re:helotiaceae ?
And now the mount in water without pressing.
Does the fourth picture of the ascus with croziers is enough for you because it is the only one I could see.

Re:helotiaceae ?
Hi Michel
fine, the asci are hemiamyloid (nicely red). The paraphyses I am not sure, look a bit like being guttulate. I am not sure that they are still alive because they lie too much over another. Perhaps you should better have slightly squashed, sorry :-(
And I have still not at all an idea about the genus, sorry. If you wish you can send it to me, but I cannot promise anything.
