Belle foto!

La butto lì... per me visto habitat, habitus e periodo direi Scutellinia trechispora!

Ovviamente attendiamo Benat e relativa revisione! Se per caso lui non potesse, un'occhiata posso dargliela anch'io senza problemi! ma prima lo Scutellinologo!

@Benat
The word "scutellinologo" doesn't exist! but it means "a person studying Scutellinia"

Grazie Matteo.
Ok....sentiamo Benat.

You're like me : fascinated by this genus !
You're right, absolutely right.
The other genera are simple mushrooms without interest. Only Scutellinia give us pleasure!

It is possible, and I think like Matte, that is S. trechispora. But the pale colour under apothecia could orientate us to S. umbrorum (complex, evidently)... Should be checked at oil immersion and the altitude is interesting.
But I do not want to bother ... How to tell?
I will have to reimburse the mailings if you collect every morning ...
Come on, I make a proposal: fresh Scutellinia decipiens collection (very rarely species) for the one who sent me an Italian soil collection from altitude above 2,000 m!

Amically,

Beñat

Good!

Talking about macroscopical features (i.e. colors), I attach a picture of a single apothecium that turned out to be S. trechispora!

I hope that it could be useful for your "macroscopical" studies!

Adio Matte,

Very beautiful picture ! And a specimen with very paler external apothecia !
Grazie.

Adio Aurelio & Matte

Thanks Aurelio for the sending. I have received this today. And I have studied this on the wave...
I don't know how I can thank you ? Have you an idea ?

Matte has the good vision and prediction : Scutellinia trechispora, no problem. No much mature ascopores but sufficient.
Some micropictures : long hairs (> 1000 µm), base 2-3-multifurcate, pubescent margin with hyphoid and aborted hairs present, rounded spores with truncate warts and spines intermixed...

Hello Benat,
.... That Matthew is camouflaged by a microscope Ligurian?
