Bryophilous white ascomycete

These gregarious, small (up to 0.6 mm), shortly stipitate and fully white ascomata are firmly attached to the aerial parts of bryophita that grows on Pinus wood. The material was sent to me by M. Tapia from Navarra (NE Spain).
The asci are IKI negative and they have croziers (+). The ascospores are small and smooth. The paraphyses have some colorless VB's. Ectal excipulum with textura globulosa to prismatica with any gelified tissues. The margin has not differenciate hairs, only chains of cells with clavate and smooth end cells.
We think perhaps this fungus is close to Pezizella muscicola Graddon, but the original diagnosis seems to be short and very incomplete....
What's your opinion
Many thanks again

Re : Bryophilous white ascomycete
Looks actually like this fungus. But what genus ?could it be? A Psilachnum or Psilocistella perhaps?
The moss looks a bit like a Hypnum?
