I need help identifying this lichenicolous species that grows on dead parts of Cladonia. Ascomatas are spherical, without hairs, 0.2-0.3mm in diameter.
Thanks anyway

Dear Dragiša,
It looks like a Capronia. I'd love to try to culture this fungus!
Thanks.

Dear Wendy
Capronia was my first idea too. I have a key for lichenicolous Capronia but it does not match any species. Unfortunately, I only found two ascomatas and I used both.

Dear Dragiša,
Yes, Capronia are not prolific fruiters. I hope you find it again and in sufficient numbers to lend me material.
Yours,
Wendy

Re : Lichenicolous on Cladonia
Hello Alain,
nothing to the fungus or the determination. But the name - I wonder if it is not a wrong form. What meanst "phractum"? It should be Greek (with ph) and I wonder if such a form exists (?). If it is Latin it would make sense: heterofractum (from frangere, to break-). If I am right the name must be corrected.
Best regards, Lothar
