It has hyaline walled spores, with some longitudinal septa. Me = 31.7 × 11.4 µm; Qe = 2.8.
Could this be the genus Arthothelium?
Following the keys in Cannon et al. (2020), I have arrived at A. lirellans or A. orbilliferum, depending on whether I consider there to be one or more longitudinal septa.
I would like to hear the opinion of someone who has studied these genera previously. Many thanks.

Re : Arthothelium sp.
Hello! I have not studied the genera that you mention. However, it might be worth considering non-lichenized hysterioid genera like Gloniopsis.
Cheers!
