This tiny, rather "rough" erumpent asco was found
Possibly Saccothecium sepincola?

Hello all, This asco was found on old, thick stems of Rubus (or possibly Rosa).
I've found nothing that fits in Ellis & Ellis 'Microfungi on Land Plants' for Rubus but I wondered if Saccothecium sepincola (given on Rosa) might be a possibility?
The spores were 3-septate, 15-17 x 6-7 µm and most asci appeared biseriate.
Once again guidance much appreciated!
With regards,
Jenny

Re : Possibly Saccothecium sepincola?
Hi Jenny
I can't for the moment suggest what your fungus is, but it certainly isn't Saccothecium sepincola. That fungus is gregarious; and the asci are ventricose, thickened at the apex, and they are seated in a bundle upon a basal cushion of small brown cells, the ascospores generally having 5 transverse septa, occasionally with a longitudinal septum as well.

Thanks for the correction Chris, I've been trying to figure this one for hours and was clutching at straws by that point.......!
