Unidentified pyrenomycete with curved septate spores

Nous avons trouvé ce petit pyrenomycète sur un bâton dans les bois à feuilles larges. Qu'est-ce que c'est? Je n'ai aucun idée.
We found this little pyrenomycete on a stick under sycamore and elm. The roughly surfaced ascocarps are up to 0.9mm diameter. Asci are at least 180 um long and about 15 wide, and do not have blue apices in Lugol. The curved spores are up to 53 long and 15 wide, and appear to to 1 to 5-septate. I could not see any paraphyses.
I can't find this in my books (Fungi of Switzerland Vol 1, Ellis & Ellis, Peter Thompson).
Aidez-moi s'il vous plaît!
Cordialement,
Steve

Re : Unidentified pyrenomycete with curved septate spores
Hi Steve,
this is Bertia moriformis.
In " Fungi of Switzerlands " the microdrawings of the spores are not advantageous (Page 292) and in ELLIS/ ELLIS is lacking the "5" (septate). Page 21 u. Fig. 73. This species is very common on wood.
Greetings Peter.

Many thanks!
We found this some years ago - it looked more like a "Wood Mulberry" than this recent find, but the microscopy is right.
Cheers,
Steve
