A Calycina like helotiale

Bonjour, I am puzzled with this late collection of a Calycina like helotiale on Dipsacus old stems.
MAcro and micro would rather fit with C. pseudodisrceta, including spores but the paraphyses content doesn't.
Ascus 70-80 x 5,5-6, H+ (though not easy to notice) , IKI +B, rather Calycina-type
Spores mostly 9-10 x 2,2-2,5 , OCI 2 , never septate.
This fungus looks as a mixture of Calycina, Cyathicula or even Phaeohelotium.
I will appreciate any help.
Amitiés. Michel

Hi Michel
how gelatinised is the excipulum?
I think it is a subsessile Cyathicula.

Re : A Calycina like helotiale
Yes, strongly gelatinized in ectal, and typical guttulate cortical cells.

Re : A Calycina like helotiale
So, may be Cyathicula dipsacea as a tentative name ?

Re : A Calycina like helotiale
This is a big question, Cyathicula is a mess. The spores look unusual with their contents. Hmmm.
