Unknown unitunikate pyrenomycete

Hiyesterday I have found a completely immersed pyreno on dead, still attached twigs of Prunus sp (not P. avium and not P. spinosa). I first thought about a Massaria, because it has very big black perithecia (0,5-0,9mm) with an inconspicuous ostiolus.
But micro studies had shown brown didymospores with smooth surface, 19-23x8-9µm. I think that the 8spored Asci are unitunicate.
After watching these features I directly thought about Amphisphaeria millepunctata, but this species has smaller spores.
Spores remember me on Valsaria insitiva or Didymosphaeria species...but they all do not pass to the macroscopical appearance.
Do you have an idea?
amitiés,
björn

Re : Unknown unitunikate pyrenomycete
Can Amphisphaeria umbrina be a possible solution? BARR (1994): "Amphisphaeria has been the repository for many extraneous taxa having one-septate, brown ascospores, and species have been confused with species of Didymosphaeria." (Mycotaxon 51, p. 196).
Well there should be a name for this fungus...

Re : Unknown unitunikate pyrenomycete
Hi Björn,
given that your fungus is an Amphisphaeria there are only few taxa J- according to the key provided in Wang et al 2004 (attached). The only taxon corresponding to the size of the spores would be A. vibratilis (also attached). Did you observe a gel sheath? I could believe in one studying your micro.
Herzliche Grüße

Re : Unknown unitunikate pyrenomycete
Hi Martin,
I could not detect a sheath around the spores, and they also were not verrucose. Only problem could be that there were not many spores, so I think it was immature. However, I will give him the name "A. vibratilis" and will look for further studies.
Thanks for help

Re : Unknown unitunikate pyrenomycete
Hi Björn,
I dont think these spores look that less verrucose then those depicted in Wang (the pictures in the book are not much better than my scan). I marked with red arrows the areas where I suspect some sheaths.

Re : Unknown unitunikate pyrenomycete
Hm ok. Do you have the whol article from Wang? Seems to be interesting. If not, does not matter.
I do not want to make so much trouble here :D
