🆔 Ascocoryne sarcoides (Jacq.) J.W.Groves & D.E.Wilson
ℹ️ Hymenium: Apothecial disc surface smooth, gelatinous, violet-pink to purple, underside sometimes finely fuzzy or lighter in tone
ℹ️ Apothecium: Begins as irregular, brain-like gelatinous lobes (anamorphic form), then becomes more cup- or disc-shaped, lobed margin
⚪ Spore print white
🪵 Saprobic, growing on heavily decayed hardwood, autumn to winter, in clustered patches
😕 Insignificant
📏 Apothecium size up to ~5–15 cm when clustered (discs merging)
📐 Individual apothecia few mm to ~1–2 cm in diameter
🔪 Flesh gelatinous, fleshy, violet-pink unchanging color
🧪 No reagent reaction
🔬 Spores fusiform/ellipsoid, hyaline, smooth, ~13–21×3.5–5 µm; biguttulate early, asci 8-spored cylinders (~115–130×8–10 µm), paraphyses filiform (~1–2 µm width)
🔤 Gelatinous, violet-pink disc fungus that begins as brain-like lobes and later forms cup-shaped apothecia en masse on decaying wood
