Sphinctrina turbinata (Pers.) Fr.:Fr.
Elenchus Fungorum, 2: 148, 1828. Basionym: Calicium turbinatum Pers. - Tent. Disp. Fung.: 59, 1797
Synonyms: Acolium stigonellum (Ach.) Gray; Calicium stigonellum Ach.; Sphinctrina gelasinata (With.) Zahlbr. nom.inval.; Sphinctrina turbinata (Pers.) De Not.
Description: Thallus not evident, not lichenized. Apothecia short-stalked to subsessile, 0.16-0.3 mm high. Stalk dark to pale brown, more rarely black, of periclinally arranged, red hyphae with strongly gelatinized walls, pale in inner part, reddish in outermost part, which is sometimes overlain by a thick gelatinous coat. Capitulum spherical to slightly irregular, 0.2-0.4 mm across, shiny black or dark brown; mazaedium well-developed, black. Exciple well-developed, dark ruby red and K+ purple, not sclerotized, consisting of more or less periclinally arranged hyphae, the surface slightly sclerotized in upper part, hyaline and gelatinose in lower part; hypothecium colourless to pale brown, 35-50 µm high. Asci 8-spored, cylindrical, formed singly from ascogenous hyphae with croziers, with a single, functional wall layer, K/I-, disintegrating at a rather late stage, with uniseriately arranged spores. Ascospores 1-celled, subglobose, dark brown, 5-7.5 x 4.5-7.5 µm, surrounded by a gelatinous coat, with an ornamentation of minute pores (resembling small warts under the optical microscope), and a few irregular cracks. Photobiont absent. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, except the reddish parts of the ascomata, especially in the exciple, which react K+ purple. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
