Hello,
Found by Ronald Morsink on decayed wood (Fagus), 16-06-2019, The Netherlands.
Asci: 8-spored, 37.5 x 5.4 µm
Spore size: 4.3-4.6 x 1.3-1.7 µm
Could this be a Ceratostomella species or am I completely wrong?
Greetings,
Riet

Re : Ceratostomella spec. .... or something completely different?
Yes, perhaps Ceratostomella rostrata.

Re : Ceratostomella spec.
At the risk of not being very helpful, I would think that is not a Ceratostomella, (Lentomitella sensu Reblova). I thought that Ceratostomella (Endoxyla sensu Munk) has septate ellipsoid, hyaline spores.
Of course, I am not sure, but thought I would comment, from my position of ignorance, if only to improve on my understanding of this entity with far too many name changes.

Re : Ceratostomella spec.
Hello Simon,
Saw this topic the day before yesterday:
Quote: " ... With Munk Endoxyla rostrata fits quite well but according to Réblová this species is a Ceratostomella, a genus with brown spores. ...."
Réblová 2006
On page 75

Re : Ceratostomella spec.
Many thanks, Riet,
I have been struggling with these pyrenocarps, for some time and I still manage to lose track of things, despite frequently finding what I take to be L. cirrhosa.
