this species, which I assume is an Amphisphaeria, grows plentifully on a corticated branch of Fraxinus or Ulmus on the ground. I checked the paper by Wang et al. (2004) but couldn't find a species that fits well with this collection. The ascospores measure about 18–21 x 5,5–7 µm and appear to be smooth and without a sheath. Maybe someone has an idea!
Best wishes,

Re : Amphisphaeria on Fraxinus
Hi Gernot,
Have you looked towards Amphisphaeria umbrina (or A. cavata) ?

Re : Amphisphaeria on Fraxinus
Thanks for your suggestion, Alain! I have no experience with A. umbrina but looking at the description and images in Wang et al. I feel like the ascospores of A. umbrina should be a bit darker brown than in my collection. Also it seems like the morphology of the ascomata is somewhat different but I think that could certainly vary to some degree...
Best wishes,
Gernot
