J'ai un Hymenoscyphus poussant sur tiges mortes d'Urtica dioica, trouvé en Haute Ardenne 5vielsalm, Belgique). J'ai d'abord pensé à Hymenoscyphus herbarum, mais la micro ne correspond pas.
Apothécie -> 1.5 mm sur mes spécimens, crème, jaunissant ou rougissant en vieillissant (photo), à pied très court.
Asques X 6.5-8 µ, sans croziers (du moins je n'en n'ai pas vus dans ma préparation), pore hémiamyloïde (IKI R++, Meltzer B faible).
Paraphyses cylindriques, X 2-3 µ; guttules parfois présentes vers le sommet, parfois pas.
Spores hyalines, 1-septées, 16-23.5 X 3-4.5 µ.
Une idée? Merci d'avance - Luc BAILLY.

Re:Hymenoscyphus s/ Urtica
Il s'agit plutôt d'un Calycina.
Concernant la définition de l'hémiamyloïdie, je renvoie vers la note de Zotto :

Re:Hymenoscyphus s/ Urtica
Hi Luc
yes, it is certainly a Calycina, and I would expect C. herbarum. Are you sure the spores are so big?

Re:Hymenoscyphus s/ Urtica
Ah, okay, merci Nicolas. J'essaierai le KOH + IKI aussi.
I still have the specimen and will verify the spore length tomorrow.

Re:Hymenoscyphus s/ Urtica
I can confirm you the spores are that large. Thus, would it be a macrosporic form of C. herbarum?
Et tu as raison, Nicolas: IKI + KOH: réaction négative.
Cheers - LUC.

Re:Hymenoscyphus s/ Urtica
Wehn I use my key and assume the asci are 8-spored, with 8 equally-sized spores, then I arrive at Calycina subparilis, an undescribed species which I only know from wood and bark of various angiosperm trees and shrubs. The spores are there 13-20 / 3,3-4,5 µm.
Hier an example.

Re:Hymenoscyphus s/ Urtica
Thank you, Zotto. Spores are exactly like those ones, and dimensions are very close. But the ecology (herbaceous stems) is different. And the apothecies of my sample are more distinctly cream (could be because they're older).

That resembles what I found quite a lot. Thanks!
