Peziza Sp

Probably Common Dung Cup (Peziza vesiculosa)

from TM & AC

Everything bar spore size indicates Peziza vesiculosa..morphology, substrate, size etc Asci tips: strong I+ reaction (Meltzers) & Lugol's Iodine Paraphyses: numerous, filiform with slightly clavate apex Spores: 16.6 x 10.2 (n=12) BUT these are either within asci or 'squashed' out. I have failed to get any mature spores to drop.

Daldinia Sp

From Tony M

The small 'cramp ball' on the fallen birch trunk was odd - Daldinia decipiens appears to be the only Daldinia with a stipe on Betula.
KOH pigment purple with ascospores dehiscing nicely so you would have thought job done.  BUT the spore size is too small at 12.5 x 6.1 Q=2.1 (n=23). Ref:
The provisional key published by Fournier & Stadler in 2009 and Polyphasic taxonomy of Daldinia, Stadler et al 2014. Not sure where we go from here (& interestingly,
there is decent ITS barcode available on Genbank MB474112 referenced by Stadler et al).

Phaeoholotium nobile

From Tony L

Phaeohelotium nobile is the name I am most comfortable with for the gregarious golden-yellow disco.
The other contender is P. monticola (= Hymenoscyphus monticola on NBN Atlas) but the dimensions of
both spores and asci are closer to the former, moreover some sources describe the latter as having finely verrucose
spores which become brown - neither were observed. There is one record on the Mycota (1995, Foxley Wood, Reg Evans).

From YM

Phaeohelotium nobile. I hesitated as I couldn't see branched paraphyses but they were the best fit. Lit Nordic Macromycetes vol 1
