I found this to-day, in Norway.On the bark of Fraxinus, small, ca 1 mm.
Konidia 25 - 28 x 12 my.
It is nice with a name.
Per.

Re : Pyreno on Fraxinus excelsior.
Dear Chris,
I'd like to ask, what's the difference between Macrophoma fraxini and Diplodia fraxini (or rather D. mutila, without brown conidia)?
Thank you in advance.

Re : Pyreno on Fraxinus excelsior.
They may represent the same thing as far as I know. "Coelomycetes" can be a taxonomic minefield, crying out for more molecular work.

Re : Pyreno on Fraxinus excelsior.
Yes, there's also a paper "Relationship of Macrophoma and Diplodia" (1904) by J.T.Emerson who obtained both types of conidia from a single pycnidium. That's why I was asking, to see if there's a molecular work on them.
By the way, my collections identified as Diplodia (fraxini or mutila, I'm still not sure how to distinguish them without dark brown conidia abundantly present) released a pigment into water or KOH mount, hyaline in visible light, but bluegreen in UV 365 nm. (The dark blue background is an artifact, I probably forgot to use UV filter.)
Correction: the UV+ water-soluble pigment it's actually not from the fungus, but from upper layer of Fraxinus bark. :-/ Sorry for not checking that before.
