The apos were max. ca. 5 mm wide and I think they had a short stem and were growing from needles and sticks of P. abies. The flesh was gelatinous. I measured some spores in water from a spore print and they were about 11.5 - 13.5 x 4.5 - 5 microns. The ascus pores had a faint amyloid reaction in Melzer's solution.
I'm thinking that this could be Ombrophila or maybe Ascocoryne...

Re : Ombrophila?
Yes, Ombrophila is quite clear.
Specimens by Bernard Clesse are similar (folder "Eigenried H+") I see very similar samples on conifers, and in folder "Eigenried H-" are similar ones.
The genus is very difficult, and you see croziers are also important.

Re : Ombrophila?
Thanks! There is indeed similarity compared to those folders. I didn't have the habit of checking croziers back then, but hopefully I'll find some new apos in the future, and then could take a closer look.
