Phaeohelotium

yesterday I collected this Phaeohelotium on a decaying trunk of Fagus sylvatica (in the field I though it would be Bisporella/Calycina). The apothecia measured up to 7 mm, but mostly up to 4 mm, were vivid yellow, not reddening.
Ascospores (13.9)15.4-18.2(19.7) × (4.1)4.2 4.7(4.8) µm, Q = (3.1)3.5-4.2(4.6), n = 40,Â
Me = 16.9 × 4.4 µm, Qe = 3.8. Most of them were non-septate, some 1-septate, a few 2-septate and a single 3-septate ascospore was observed.Â
Asci bb (Hymenoscyphus-type), with croziers. 124-135 x 8-11 µm.
Ectal excipulum textura globulosa-angularis, medulla t. intricata.
Using Bernard´s key I came to Phaeohelotium monticola, but still feel a bit uncertain due to the possible confusion with P. epiphyllum. Based on the information in this forum and after comparing photos on reliable webpages, it seems P. epiphyllum should have less vivid colour, smaller guttules inside paraphyses and should become red when damaged. Nevertheless, I would like to consult this find.Â

Re : Phaeohelotium
Hi Zuzana
first I see from your living asci that the spores are always non-septate before discharge.
The number of septate spores is a pure function of the degree of senescence. Finally they should get brownish, but I saw such spores only rarely in this species.
Xes, it is P. monticola, no doubt. Such elongated VBs are impossible in H. epiphyllus which has only small roundish VBs in high number. The same applies to the cortical cells.
THT IKI-reaction of the VBs is perhaps also typical.
In fact, P. epiphyllum can hardly be confused with Calycina citrina.

Re : Phaeohelotium
Hi Zotto,
perfect, thank you very much!
I can confirm the oldest spores were light brownish.
