Re:Clusters of small fungi on bark of Alnus
Many thanks Jacques, I think you are quite right. I have also found out that it occurs on Duschekia fruticosa (Betulaceae) in Taimyr Peninsula (Checklist of fungi and lichenicolous fungi of the Russian Arctic, http://www.binran.ru/infsys/ra_fun/ ).

Re:Clusters of small fungi on bark of Alnus
Yes that´s a Tympanis. In the case you find living asci (in a section) then you see that the conidia are aggregated in 8 roundish balls in the upper half of the ascus, and so they are ejected. But when you kill the asci then this peculiar arrangement is completely distorted and the conidia fill the whole ascus.

Re:Clusters of small fungi on bark of Alnus
Thanks a lot for your comment Zotto. It's said in Nordic Macromycetes that there's another sp. on Alnus, T. hysterioides, but I think it would be difficult to say whether it's T. alnea or T. hysterioides.

Re:Clusters of small fungi on bark of Alnus
Tympanis is a very difficult genus. The best paper I know is that from Ouelette & Pirozynski. To identify species it is necessary to study the ascospores from which the conidia emerge (septation, germ tubes), which are rather difficult to see within the premature asci - when asci are dead then only by staining.
