Yesterday I was searching for fungi from the bottom of a small forest stream. I stumbled upon these, growing from thin hardwood branches.

The asci seemed to be without croziers. I got almost no reaction with Melzer's but with Lugol's there was a fairly clear blue reaction with the apical pore. 

Spore measurements:  (7.6) 8.3 - 12.2 (13.3) × (3.4) 3.5 - 4.3 (4.4) µm
Q = (2) 2.3 - 3.1 (3.5) ; N = 16
Me = 10.3 × 3.8 µm ; Qe = 2.7

So does this fit H. vernus or might this be something else? I've found Cudoniella clavus before in the same stream last summer but I think this is something different. That finding had croziers and the stems were brown towards the base.
