Hi!Can Antinoa pulchella be this yellow on the outside (excipulum) and stipe? Growing of Pinus sylvestris needles. A very preliminary microscopic study shows asci ca. 30 x 4 micr. and spores ca. 5-6 x 1-1.5 micr., ellipsoid-fusiform, somewhat narrower at one end. I am of course ready to do further studies, if necessary, but difficult to take good photos. Bright yellow pigment seen in excipulum. Thanks.

Re : Antinoa pulchella?
I am quite convinced it is. I know it with longer, more slender stalk but in my folder are also such like yours. In one collection (1.XI.2019) I see hair-like elements almost like in Hyaloscypha, in others more cylindrical and not tapering. I am not sure how A. acuum can safely be delimited.

Re : Antinoa pulchella?
Thanks a lot! Yes, I did see your 1.XI.2019 photos before I posted, which gave me hope that this could be A. pulchella. I see the same yellow "hair-like" structures in some of our apos, especially the smaller ones. Second find in Norway (previous reported as Pezizella pulchella).
