| Re: Fluffy cup fungi
I think this could be a species of Leucoscypha, perhaps L. leucotricha. See Ellis 'Fungi on Miscellaneous Substrates', page 79, described as 'cup-shaped, sessile, covered with long white tapering septate hairs...'. The spores are supposed to have minute spines. (I think that means using oil-immersion). Only snag is that the asci are supposed to be 300u long, I can't tell that from your otherwise excellent pictures. But it isn't a Tarzetta, it's too small.
Good Luck! |
