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

It looks like a Capronia. I'd love to try to culture this fungus!
Thanks.
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.
Dragiša
Yes, Capronia are not prolific fruiters. I hope you find it again and in sufficient numbers to lend me material.
Yours,
Wendy
Hi,
It's Merismatium heterophractum.

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
