Ciboria americana?

Voici une espèce croissant sur fruit de Castanea sativa.
Diam. 6,5 - 7,5 mm.
La longueur du pied a aussitôt fait d'écarter R. echinophila
Spores : 8,5-9,6 x 4,7-5,7
Asques : 125-150 x 6,6-8,8
Vous observerez que les spores présentent une "goutelette" à chaque extrémité.
Sont-ce des noyaux?
Pensez-vous qu'il puisse s'agir de Ciboria americana?
Votre avis m'obligerait.

Re : Ciboria americana?
Dear Camille
very interesting collection! Your spores contain 2 nuclei, but they are very inconspicuous transparent regions near the spore centre, well seen in one of the spores of your last image (middle above). At the spore ends are oil droplets.
I know C. americana with a bit longer and especially narrower spores. Raul Tena Lahoz sent me very nice photos of a collection whcih I believe is C. americana. here the spores are uninucleate.

Re : Ciboria americana?
Yes, here we can even see the nucleoli (I assume this is stained in Lugol).
I have no idea what species this is, perhaps something polyphagous? Ciborinia pseudobifrons? Then the spores should be a bit striate.

Re : Ciboria americana?
?Yes, I fully agree. I got a collection from Italy by Bernd Fellmann which fits quite well:
HB: Ap. 3-9 mm diam, stipe 10-45 x 0.5-1 -> 0.5-2 mm. Asci *150-158 x 9-9.5(-10) µm, with croziers, IKI 3bb Sclerot. Sp. *(8-)9-11.5 x (5-)5-5.3 µm, +IKI 8-11 x 4-4.5 µm, const. 2-nucleate (many 100 sp. seen). Paraph. (*) without contents. Ectexc. t. glob., all tissue inamyloid (!).?
