On a herbaceous stem, possibly Aegopodium, I found a sessile hairy discomycete ~0.5 mm diameter, disc beige with olivaceous tint when moist. Southern Finland.
The marginal hairs are some 20-30 µm long. The asci are 40-50 × 5-6 µm with croziers visible only when very young, IKI bb. The paraphyses are cylindrical, about 2 µm thick, without visible content or mostly low refractive content. The spores are 9.3-11.3 × 1.8-2.1 µm, OCI 0.
I would be grateful for help on this one.

I don't know. But maybe something in Hyaloscyphaceae (in the strict sense). Psilocistella could be a starting point. Here's a small synopsis on the species

Psilocistella was one of the many genera I was scanning through. P. ranunculi is not very far away...

I don't culture. Do you want to give it a try?
