Ascocoryne lilacina?

Hello!
Specimens less than 1 mm in diameter. Growing on unknown wood (possibly Cytisus sp.) on a slope with low scrub. Positive reaction of the ascus apex in Lugol's iodine. Spores measured in water:
(4.9) 5.4 - 7.1 (7.5) × (2.2) 2.6 - 2.9 (3.2) µm
Q = (1.7) 2 - 2.6 (2.9) ; N = 31
Me = 6.2 × 2.7 µm ; Qe = 2.3
I haven't observed crystals, but there does appear to be gelatinized hyphae.
I've also considered whether it could be an Ombrophila.
Let me know what you think.
Regards and thanks

Re : Ascocoryne lilacina?
Surely it is that species, which was previously placed in Ombrophila. The species does not have crystals.
The substrate was on the moist ground, I assume.

Re : Ascocoryne lilacina?
It was growing on a piece of dead branch without bark, on the ground.
