Apothecia: 0.5-1.5(2) mm in diameter, first spherical, becoming cup-shaped, finally discoid with an inconspicuous fimbriate margin or no raised margin at all; hymenium bright-orange, outer surface slightly paler than the hymenium
Asci: straight, cylindrical, narrowing toward base, 200-350 x 16-28 µm, 8-spored, spores uniseriate
Paraphyses: filiform, cylindrical, straight, 3-5 µm wide, multiseptate, occasionally branched at the base, with sparse carotenoid pale-orange pigment, mostly in lipid bodies (LBs), pigment turns green in IKI, apical cell slightly thickened, 40-80 x 4-7 µm
Ascospores: hyaline, uniseriate, globose, (14)15-17 µm diam., with an excentric lipid drop 9-11 µm in diameter. Spore surface densely covered with isolated warts of varying size. Warts in side view hemispherical, gibbous, in face view also pyriform, packed, elongated or confluent, few warts with a punctiform cavity visible after staining in CB. Larger warts wider than high, 2-3(4) µm wide and 0.6-1(1.2) µm high; smaller warts ± hemispherical, approx. 0.5 µm wide and 0.5 µm high
Host: Fissidens crassipes
Infection; infects the rhizoids of the aquatic moss Fissidens crassipes, infected cells appear swollen and shorter than uninfected ones. The ellipsoid single-celled appressoria are 13-22 x 6-14 µm in side view. They are mostly free and only weakly differentiated from adjacend hyphae
Distribution: France
