Hi there,Are these black 'perithecia' possibly a parasitizing ascomycete on Conocephalum salebrosum?
Unfortunately, I noticed these structures only after a long time after I took the pictures (they are heavily zoomed in). So, these pictures are all I have.
Thanks for your opinion or hint.
Sincerely

I have no idea what it is, but I've already come across something like that.
Maybe it's the same, only yours are definitely older.
A friend once sent me to check, I found nothing of the mushroom in it:

Similar are also on the site;

... so maybe it's part of Conocephalum ???

Thanks for your response. On both links you provided I see antheridial pads of the male thallus. This belongs to the Conochephalum. See my picture attached of the same thing on the same thallus and the link:

Also the stalked archegoniophores of the female plants do not resemble these black pits and 'perithecia' on my pictures. So, I suspect they do not belong to the Conocephalum but are probably something different. Curious!

Thank you for the link. Fantastic photos!
My knowledge of lichens is quite limited, so I looked at your site with curiosity. Thanks to you, I learned something again :))
