Hi!

Would appreciate very much if somebody knowledgable could help me (an ignorant) by confirming or correcting my determination of this observation. Could it be something different?

Habitat: alpine valley, mixed forest edge, dominant Fagus sylvatica, Picea abies, Ostrya carprinifolia, Fraxinus ornus, Fraxinus excelsior, Corylus avellana, modestly southeast inclined mountain slope, calcareous ground (overgrown old scree, rock and boulders), limestone bedrock, relatively dry and warm place, partly sunny, exposed to direct rain, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 600 m, alpine phytogeographical region.

Substratum: dead, thin, very small piece of Picea abies branch loosely lying on rocky ground.

Place: Lower Trenta valley, near 'Na Melu' place, between villages So?a and Trenta, East Julian Alps, Poso?je, Slovenia EC

Growing in a group of four fruit bodies on a single small branch. I have been trying hard to find some more fruit bodies, but with no success. Pileus diameter 1.2 (SD = 0.3) mm, n = 4. Hairs: length: 117 (SD = 23) ?, n = 6, 'warty'.

Spores smooth with many small oil drops. Dimensions: 28.9 (SD = 2.3) x 6.4 (SD = 0.5) ?, Q = 4.53 (SD = 0.5), n = 30. Asci dimensions: 145.6 (SD = 11.8) x 15.2 (SD = 1.6) ?, n = 12, with thin apical thickening. Paraphyses width: 1.9 (SD = 0.2) ? (minimum) and 4.7 (SD = 0.5) ? (at the apex), n = 12.

Thanks a lot in advance.
