Re : Xylocoremium flabelliforme and Xylaria cubensis
even a mature X. cubensis will have brownish tinges on the surface and no real squamulose stuff unlike the grey to black, ± squamulose (and much bigger) X. longipes. Your thing looks like X. cubensis but the spore must be alien else you would fine many. A young X. longipes will be grey powdered from conidia - there is no conidial production on the surface of a cubensis stroma.

Re : Xylocoremium flabelliforme and Xylaria cubensis
Hi John,
I have already seen one stroma of typical X. cubensis collected by Marc Stadler in Germany.
The associated anamorph leaves little doubt about the identity of the fungus. Xylaria cubensis, unlike all known European taxa, features a thick carbonaceous crust above the perithecial layer, nearly 200 µm thick, which is easy to evaluate on a split up stroma.
The spores of X. cubensis are dark brown and indeed the germ slit is very difficult to make out, if not absent. Maybe your stroma is hardly mature, check perithecia near the base, they get mature first. You can't base your observations on only one spore, try to find mature asci!
Cheers,
Jacques
