Lamprospora dicranellae Benkert
Zeitschrift für Mykologie 53(2): 217 (1987)

Lamprospora dicranellae, apothecia Lamprospora dicranellae, ascospores
1: Lamprospora dicranellae, apothecia with Ditrichum heteromallum 2: Lamprospora dicranellae, ascospores stained with lactophenol-cotton-blue, Portugal, Madeira, leg. J. Eckstein no. 10769, 2013-03-04
Apothecia: 1-3 mm in diameter, orange to pale orange, with small membranaceous margin
Asci: cylindric, 8-spored, spores uniseriate
Ascospores: globose, 12-14 µm without ornament, (13)14-16(18) µm inclusive ornament, ornamentation consisting of irregular partly interconnecting coarse ridges which sometimes form a reticulate pattern, and prominent warts between the ridges
Host: Ditrichum heteromallum, Ditrichum spec.
Habitat: on disturbed soil with pioneer mosses, especially in montane regions
Distribution: Austria (Janošík unpublished), Canary Islands (La Gomera), Czech Republik, Denmark, France, Germany (BY, HH, NI, NW, RP, SN, ST, TH), Great Britain, Madeira, Norway, Slovakia (Janošík unpublished), Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands, USA
Note: The name "dicranellae" refers to the moss Dicranella which was believed to be the host at the time of the original description. In fact, Dicranella is a common associate of Lamprospora dicranellae in Central Europe. However, the host was found to be Ditrichum (Benkert 2009).
