Diatrype disciformis on Betula?

This asco was on a birch twig, and looks like Diatrype disciformis from the microscopy. Spores were deposited as a pale brownish deposit, and were 6-8 x 1-1.5.
Asci were 8-spored, biseriate, tips blueing with Lugol (I think), 40-45 x 5 um.
Perithecia were multitudinous, without long necks.
Small ostioles dotted the stroma surface.
Ellis and Ellis state that this species is occasionally found on birch. I'm hesitant to call it Diatrype disciformis however, as the habit of growth is pulvinate and quite unlike D. disciformis as found on beech ie "erumpent through stellate fissures".

Hi Steven,
And what about Diatrype bullata ? The stroma looks like to be convex.

Re : Diatrype disciformis on Betula?
Yes it does look more like D. bullata - which I know quite well. I assumed it was confined to Salix. However in Fungi of Switzerland it is said to occur on other broadleaf species, not just Salix. So I think that this is a better fit for my specimen.
Many thanks,
Merci bien,
Steve
