Re : Unknown fungus on Quercus stick.
Hi,
asci and ascospores remind me of Lopadostoma, though the apical ring should be amyloid. But in this genus it is small and easily overlooked.
I wonder if the black pustules are single ascomata or represent several ascomata surrounded by a stroma. A close-up on a horizontal or better a vertical section would answer this question.
Are you related to Buddy Guy?
Cheers,
Jacques

Re : Unknown fungus on Quercus stick.
Thanks Jacques. Unfortunately this sample got ignored and I did not spend a lot of time on it. I added a photo of the asci in melzers. I dont see any reaction. Picture three is the ascoma cut open, it appears to be one large perithecia, not loculated. The spores do look good for Lopadostoma, but i dont see any species that are not loculated. Maybe Barrmaelia?

Re : Unknown fungus on Quercus stick.
this is much helpful.
There is a layer of some orange brown tissue around the perithecium. If a chip of stroma added to a drop of 5*10 % KOH releases an orange pigment, we are likely dealing with Creosphaeria sassafras, a Xylariaceae which is not uncommon in North America.
