Hello I want to ask you if you have found this ye

I have what I believe to be a Colopila species on account of the prominent, septate paraphyses.
Fbs: c0.5mm. Stipitate, hairy, whitish, strongly strongly discolouring dark red-brown.
Paraphyses: lanceolate, broad, septate.
Asci: 45-55x5-6.
Spores: 9-13x2-3
Hairs: septate, congealed with yellow-brown matter.
On small fallen twigs of Myrica gale.
Well, that's gratifying! Many thanks for your reply.
Will look up the collection details shortly. Is the discoloration typical of this taxon? I came across the genus quite by chance when browsing the internet.
Regards,
Charles.
