Hymenoscyphus [-Calycina ] ( suspected sp.: herbarum )
The genus is very extensive and includes consistently small fungi that live as saprophytes on dead wood, stems of herbs, fruits, etc.. Several genera such as Bisporella are outwardly very similar, so a microscopic characterization is essential. Important distinguishing feature is the Excipulum that at Hymenoscyphus composed of parallel, is built at an acute angle to the surface underlying hyphae. The ascus pore turns blue in Lugol
