I have no experience with lichens, let alone with mushrooms on lichens!
On the podetia of Cladonia gracilis (not 100% sure of the determination) I found brown/black ascomata (diameter: 286-317 µm). After making five preparations I didn't succeed in finding free spores and the microscopic pictures are anything but excellent.
No reaction in Melzer, texture and/or paraphyse with brown pigments.
Can someone help me with the identification?
Using a key I found in the publication of Mikhail P. Zhurbenko and Raquel Pino-Bodas (A revision of lichenicolous fungi growing on Cladonia ...) I determine the apothecia as Brackelia lunkei. The podetia are bleached in the places where the ascomata occur. Could this fungi be parasitic?
Am I right or am I completely mistaken? Thank you in advance for all your help.

I hear the name Brackelia the first time, and I do not have the paper of 2017. I would be glad you could send me.

No problem, attached to the article maybe other persons are also interested.
Kind regards,

Your pics lack a scale, while the statement 1000x is useless for me when I want to measure.
I collected the Cladonia gracilis on 27 september 2019 in Belgium, 2460 Kasterlee, in the nature reserve "Grote Heide" which is a part of a "sleeping" land dune "Kempense Heuvelrug".
