Public Note:
PDD 89248 (PRJ D2006), PDD 93112 (PRJ D1398), PDD 62679 (PRJ D852), PDD 62656 (PRJ D918), PDD 68204 (PRJ D1341), PDD 62667 (PRJ D919), PRJ D1769, PRJ D2096, PRJ D1404 all represent the same morphologically distinctive species, found only on fallen leaves of Pseudopanax. Phylogenetically the species is Hyphodiscaeae.
The apothecia form large gregarious groups across fallen Pseudopanax leaves. The individual discs are less than 0.5 mm diam., sessile, urceolate, pale green, externally with a finely ridged appearance (superficially similar to the phylogentically distant 'Arachnopeziza' rhopalostylidis (Lachnaceae)). The excipulum comprises long-cylindric cells arranged in parallel rows embedded in thick gel. The outermost excipular hyphae become more or less free and hair-like, and here the cell walls are finely roughened and pale brown. Paraphyses are dimorphic, some 1.5-2 um diam., more or less undifferentiated at apex and about the same length as the asci, others up to 4 um diam., broadly lanceolate and extending 15-20 um beyond the asci. Ascospores 6-9 x 1.5-2 um, clavate, ends broadly rounded, radially symmetrical, 0-septate, hyaline. Asci about 30-35 x 5 um, more or less cylindric, amyloid pore, 8-spored.
