It would be great if someone could give me some help on this one. It may be lichenized.

Substrate:

Deciduous deadwood

Macro:

Apothecia mostly 0.3-0.6 mm in diameter, immersed or superficial, often somewhat elongated, especially so when drying. Apothecial disc reddish brown. Margin distinct, somewhat prominent, black. Anamorphs nearly globose (perithecia?), 0.1-0.15 mm, with conidia oozing out in white masses.

Micro:

Excipular parts strongly covered in very dark substance. Margin with strongly bent and intertwined blunt hyphal ends. Asci  85-105 x 9-11 µm. No IKI reaction observed. Paraphyses strongly bent and sometimes  branched. Ascospores 15-19 x 4-6 µm, 3 septate and readily germinating.

Conidia ellipsoid, about 3 x 1.5 µm

 

Thanks for any help
