herewith another pyreno collected on decayed deciduous wood:
Perithecia scattered to gregarious, venter immersed, 0.35-0.5 mm diam., 0.3-0.35 mm high, blackish, surrounded by sparse mycelium, with a mostly central, straight to slightly flexuous neck, not sulcate, 150-350 µm long by 100 µm diam.Asci with truncate apex and rounded basal end, 29-37x6 µm, biseriately 8-spored, with inconspicuous IKI- apical annulus. Ascospores ellipsoid, mostly inequilateral, or reniform, 6.5-8x3-4 µm, aseptate, smooth, pale yellowish brown, with two polar guttules 2-2.5 µm diam. and a few small ones.Paraphyses not observed.Perithecial wall leathery, with textura angularis, opaque black. Mycelial hyphae 4-5 µm diam., thick-walled, dark brown.
Your help is welcome.
Cheers,
Bernard

Hi Bernard,
I would recommend the following paper by M. Réblová (2006): Molecular systematics of Ceratostomella sensu lato and morphologically similar fungi. Mycologia, 98(1), 2006, pp. 68–93.
I think the closest fit to your find might be Ceratostomella pyrenaica. See also here: http://www.ascofrance.com/recolte/2802/sordariomycetes-position-incertaine-annulatascaceae-ceratostomella-pyrenaica
Maybe Jacques also has something to say about your fungus, after all he's the co-author of C. pyrenaica. :-)
Best wishes,
Gernot

Re : Sordariomyetes - Ceratostomella
Hi Gernot,
Thanks for your comments.
Ceratostomella pyrenaica is a most interesting proposal. According Réblova & Fournier, the ascospores should have apiculate ends, but my collection, as well as Alain's collection has spores with rather broadly rounded ends. So let's maybe call it C. pyrenaica ss. Gardiennet.

Re : Sordariomyetes
Thank you Björn for confirming the identity of my find. So, having apiculate spore ends is not imperative.
