Carl FarmerI'd be grateful for any suggestions for this strik

Hi,
On spruce (Picea) needles, small, white discomycete fungi.
White stipitate apothecia around 1.5mm in diameter.
8-spored asci IKI- even after KOH, croziers(+), 92.7 - 96 × 7.42 - 7.7 µm;
Spores 10.2 - 12.8 x 3.1 - 3.9 µm; Q = 2.8 - 4; N = 30, Me = 11.6 x 3.6 µm

Microscopy is similar to Hymenoscyphus sulphuratus, but it is pure white and it was matured. Are there any other options?
Thanks you,
Igor
I'm going to try to remember where a tail and a head are, but it is not that clear to me.
These spores remind me of a paramecium, so I always want to place the wider side down.
