For once the path through the main key of Raitviir (2004) was short: two steps to Graddonidiscus and in the genus key one step to G. vandae. Then the problems start.
This fungus was growing on an old leaf of Vaccinium myrtillus(?) attached to a dropping of elk (Alces alces) in a boggy habitat, just a few minute scattered apos. Finland. Spores 4.7 - 5.6 × 1.4 - 1.9 µm; asci approx. 25 x 3-4; paraphyses lanceolate, about 45 x 5; ectal excipulum textura prismatica.
I would appreciate any help with this.

Hi Stefan,
To me this looks like Lachnum rhytismatis with its crystal-capped hairs combined with the substrate. I remember finding quite frquent ascomata on fallen leaves of Vaccinium myrtillus.
Best wishes,
Charles.
