Plectania rhytidia?

My friend Matthias Theiss found a beautiful Plectania in Portugal, 15.04.2008, Lago de Albufeira, near Lissabon. The diameter of the ascocarps was 1 cm. Substrate were twigs of Eucalyptus lying on a slope at an artificial lake. The soil was sandy and covered with a forest of Pinus pinea and Eucalyptus, there were different kinds of fern and Arum. Accompanying fungi were Arachnopeziza aurelia, Phellinus pini, Pisolithus arrhizos, Laccaria tortilis.
I enclose a foto and a foto of the spores.
What do you think, is it Plectania rhytidia?
Thank you for your opinion

Thank you very much Miguel, also for the beautiful paper! Is the species common in Spain and Portugal?
I wish you a nice week!

Plectania rhytidia no doubt. The species arrived with Eucalyptus in the Mediterranean has adapted well to Quercus ilex. Bye

Re:Plectania rhytidia?
Inside the Peninsula Iberica I do not used to find funghi a lot in eucalyptus, so I have only see it 3-4 times, but in Tenerife (Canary Islands) I used to find inside a "eucaliptal forest" 2-3 times at year and I have never seen it, from 2001 to 2009.
