Can anyone confirm this as Albotrichia acutipila?Pure white fruit-bodies growing on a small twig. My first thought when I found it was Lachnum virgineum once under the scope at home this was obviously not correct.
Asci tips blued in Meltzers spores 12 x 2 and pointed hairs c100um long.
The best I can come up with is Albotricha acutipila but the spores are a little wide and it is supposed to grown on grasses.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Re : Albotricha acutipila
As you saym A. acutipila is confined to grasses, maybe even Phragmites.
You have no photo of the hairs? It could be Dasyscyphella montana? Or. D. crystallina? The latter is on Quercus twgs and has crystals among the hairs, asci without croziers. D. montana withou crystals but with croziers.

Thanks. It was under oak and the swollen hairs have globular crystals so D crystallina it is.

Ps no croziers found either
