Helles Schilf-Filzbecherchen

Mollisia hydrophila is a tiny disc fungus producing greyish apothecia on submerged and waterlogged plant debris in aquatic habitats. It inhabits streamsides, lake margins, and wet woodland environments in temperate Europe and North America. This saprotrophic ascomycete decomposes waterlogged plant material in riparian and aquatic edge habitats.

Ast-Weichbecherchen

Mollisia ramealis is a small, grey to olive-grey disc fungus producing cup-shaped apothecia on dead herbaceous and woody plant material. It inhabits temperate forests and hedgerows across Europe, growing on dead twigs and stems. This saprotrophic ascomycete decomposes dead plant tissue in moist forest understory environments.
