Hi,

On deteriorated wood of broadleaves (Craetagus, Populus, Sambucus) found these small orange apothecia, that at first sight looked like a nectria.
Under the lens it seemed a Stictis but then under the microscope it showed large, seven septated spores, pointed at the ends, the middle fragments somewhat thickened.
Spores measured about 65 mu and the asci about 132 mu.
Apothecia partially sunken in the substrate, whitish bulb surrounded by an orange layer.

I would appreciate your help.

Greetings, Aafke
