Bombardia?

Hello all
A friend sent me this collection, we suspect it was Bombardia. If so, I have absolutely no experience with this type, nor any literature on it. Therefore, I am asking for help and hints whether it is possible to define the species and on the basis of what features.
I have quite a lot of material so I can add photos at any time. For now, I am posting what I have observed.
best regards
Mirek

Re : Bombardia?
Yes this looks very much like the striking species Bombardia bombarda if the perithecia are large (1-2 mm high) and mature spores are two-celled: dark head cell and an hyaline cylindric cell with long appendages. See https://www.verspreidingsatlas.nl/1261010 for references.

Re : Bombardia?
Hi Eduard
Thank you very much for the genre hints and suggestion.
Now I'm at work but in the evening I will try to check the details you mention.
I have not seen the dark head on the spores but it seems to me that my apohecia is not yet mature enough. I will check some other apothecia taken from another part of the substrate.
Long appendages are definitely present because I saw them clearly, unfortunately I did not include this detail in the pictures.
best regards

Re : Bombardia?
You only need to see the ascomal wall with the gelatinous wall layer to know this is Bombardia. No spores required.
