Public Note:
Chlorociboria-like anatomy - excip of gelatinised textura intricata, ends of elements free and hair-like. Asci about 75-95 x 9 µm, clavate, J+ pore broad but quite diffuse; paraphyses 1,5 µm diam., undifferentiated at apex; ascospores 11-12 x 4-4.5 µm, oblong-elliptic, taper slightly to tounded ends, flat one side, not curved, 0-septate. See images.
On either Nothofagus or Kunzea wood.
Public Note:
D2070 (PDD 119505), D2232 (PDD 119506), D1510 (PDD 99190), D1513 (PDD 119507) and D1075 (PDD 119508) form a species-level clade within Helotiales with no clear relationship (based on ITS) but with an apparently well supported sister relationship with two other species D1557 (PDD 72012) and D2228 (PDD 98213). None of these species are particularly close to each other - around an 85% match across ITS.
The D2070 clade has small, sessile, greyish apothecia with finely tomentose receptacle. Images from PDD 99190 show that surface of receptacle covered with short, 0-septate, smooth, coiling, pale brown hairs, notes say the excipulum is gelatinous.
D2228 has short-stiptate discs densely covered with dark, tangled and matted hairs with walls smooth or very finely roughened. The excipulum is highly gelatinous comprising long-cylindric cells, with an incomplete outer layer of globose dark-walled cells.
D1557 has long-stipitate discs covered with dark, long, tangled, scurfy hairs with smooth walls. Excip not clearly seen.
