Mollisia on Juncus

Average disc 0.5-0.6mm, off-white in color, lightbrown underside, no felt visible.
Texture:
Brown Textura globosa.
Asci:
Measured in water: 36.8 - 42.5 (42.6) × 4.8 - 5.6 µm
Croziers not seen, Lugol BB
Paraphyses:
Broad cylindrical, full guttule.
KOH strongly yellow.
Spores:
Measured in water: (8.2) 8.6 - 9.2 (9.3) × (2.2) 2.3 - 2.5 (2.6) µm, Qe = 3.7
Pit shaped, several little dark guttules, sometimes 2 larger light guttules, OCI 2-3.
With these data we are getting close to M. juncina, but that is KOH negative. Is to say which species could this be?
Thank you very much in advance, Geert & Margot

Re : Mollisia on Juncus
I wonder if the medulla contains numerous crystals. Then it should be M. hydropjila.

Re : Mollisia on Juncus
We think we see crystals here.

Re : Mollisia on Juncus
No, this is cortical ectal excipulum with VBs +/- distorted.

Re : Mollisia on Juncus
We tried again to make cross-sectional preparations, which was difficult with these small discs, and looked at this site to see what we should be seeing:
We do not think we see such crystals, and we previously did not see the brown hyphae of the subiculum in any of the preparations?

Re : Mollisia on Juncus
No crystals, clearly. Then we can compare M palustris, which is a very variable species in which KOH+ and KOH- may occur.
A further option is Tapesia citrinopigmentosa, named after the yellow reaction, but I think this is ruled out, you have no subiculum and the spores look too slender.

Re : Mollisia on Juncus
Thank you for your help, we have learned from it again. We are keeping this one as M. palustris.
Kind regards, Geert&Margot
