The large-pore gelatinous beaker ( Ascocoryne cylichnium ) is a largely saprophytic bark fungus from the Helotiaceae family .
features
Macroscopic features
The large-pored jelly cup forms top-to-bowl-shaped apothecia , which have a gelatinous consistency and are purple to pale flesh-red in color. They reach a diameter of 5 to 20 mm. They are clearly stalked and often grow together in clusters.
Microscopic features
The cylindrical to club-shaped tubes are 140 to 190 × 4.5 to 6.5 µm in size. The spores it contains are arranged in two rows. The spores themselves are hyaline , long, sickle-shaped, smooth and are 10 to 18 × 3 to 5 μm in size. They have five to seven septa . Small and oval shaped pores are often pinched off on the sides. The paraphyses are thread-like, unbranched and knot-like thickened at the tip.
Species delimitation
The flesh-red jelly beaker ( Ascocoryne sarcoides ) is the macroscopically hardly distinguishable double of the large-spore jelly beaker. However, this has a secondary crop form that often appears at the same time . A reliable differentiation is possible microscopically, since the spores of the large-spore gelatinous cup have up to seven septa , but those of the meat-red gelatinous cup have a maximum of three. A rare doppelganger is the peat moss jelly cup ( A. turficola ), which grows between peat mosses . It is pale flesh-red in color, but has a greenish fruit layer .
ecology
The species grows mainly saprobionic, mostly in groups on dead hardwood, with a preference for mossy stumps, mostly beech. It only occurs in autumn and mild winters, sometimes even in early spring. It's quite common.
distribution
The large-pored jelly cup is very widespread in Europe from northern Spain to northern Scandinavia and Iceland. In North America it occurs from the Great Lakes to the Saint Lawrence River. The species also occurs in New Zealand and Japan. It is quite common in Central Europe.
Systematics
The large-pored jelly beaker was first described in 1853 by Edmond Tulasne as Peziza cylichnium . Richard Paul Korf described the species in 1971 under the name Ascocoryne cylichnium , which is valid today .
