Hi,
I am stuck on this little disco found growing together with what looks like the early stages of Bulbillomyces on a stick in a ditch at Longshaw, early June.
Numerous discs, yellowish, translucent, drying ochre-brown, sessile, very gelatinous , up to 0.7 mm diameter.
Spores from squash preparation were approx 8-11 x 3-4, with few small droplets.
Asci were 75-80 x 5-8, inoperculate, with tips blueing in Lugol.
Paraphyses seemed to be cylindrical, 2 wide, septate.
No hairs were seen. Non-hymenial cells were hard to separate, they looked to be roughly columnar, gelatinised and brownish.
There were some odd-looking brown inclusions in some cells.
Superficially Paraorbiliopsis minuta looks similar, but that has a well-defined disc edge, large droplets in larger spores and forked paraphyses, and is described as being whitish in colour.
Any help would be appreciated,
Cheers,
Steve
