Hyalopeziza?

I am not sure whether this really is a Hyalopeziza or another genus with glassy hairs but to me Hyalopeziza fits best.
It grew on very rotten, wet wood, soc. Lasiosphaeria hirsuta, Bulbillomyces farinosus and Trichophaeopsis latispora. The spores are 7-8 x 2,5-3 µm, the asci IKI bb, croziers +, the hairs throughout thickwalled and up to 75 µm long, not dissolving in 5% KOH.
Best wishes,
Gernot

Hi Gernot,
I would say Hyalopeziza too, but the species is unknown to me.

Re:Hyalopeziza?
Hi Gernot
this find would be worth to be described more detailed. Ascus size, hair size (incl. width). Have you the hairs in higher resolution? They look as getting more thin-walled near the apex. Also a section of the urceolate apo would be good.
Above all: the species looks like an Urcolella. I somewhat doubt the value of the KOH-solubility as a generic character. Anyhow, sometimes the hair glassiness in Urceolella dissolves only when shortly heating the KOH slide (until it boils). If then still KOH-inert, I suspect that most species described in Urceolella cannot be consiered.
With Raitviir 2005 I did not arrive at a result.

Re:Hyalopeziza?
Hi Zotto,
you know, as a student I have saturday for collecting fungi and sunday for determining them and that's not enough time for all special measurements, sections, etc. But of course I'll try to look for these characters when they are needed!
Here I have now new data: the hairs are 52-75(98) x 3,5 µm, curved (c-shaped), throughout thickwalled except for the apex, where the wall is a bit thinner. The asci are 51-60,5 x 8-8,5 µm.
Best wishes,
Gernot

Re:Hyalopeziza?
Wonderful your section! So deeply urceolate, like Olla scrupulosa, or Urceolella carestiana. The hairs look very similar to Urceolella salicicola/graddonii (now U. hirta). In this species glassiness becomes very indistinct in 5% KOH.
The spores are egttulate and slightly smaller

Re:Hyalopeziza?
But this species grows on leaves and the apos are not at all urceolate.

Re:Hyalopeziza?
Hi Zotto,
the hairs look similar but the spores and the apothecia are quite different, as you wrote. Well, I guess both this find and the mollisoid fungus will stay undetermined ascomycetes, I am used to it :-/

Hi Zotto,
I put a piece of an apothecium in KOH 5%, heated it and the hairs were gone! Have a look at the picture, there is just the excipulum left.

Re:Hyalopeziza?
So we can safely say that it is an Urceolella.
