Leptosphaeria on grass

here I have the second collection and with this find I did not come to any result at all.
It grew on grass lying in a little stream together with Mollisia hydrophila. The ascomata are immersed, the spores are 28-32 x 4-5.5 µm, 6-celled with the third cell slightly swallen, the ostiolum is filled with +- angular cells and not with periphyses and the peridium of big, brown cells. Within some ascomata the lower half of the peridium was much lighter than the upper half.
I would be thankful for any help!
Best wishes,
Gernot

Re:Leptosphaeria on grass
It coulb be Phaeosphaeria fuckelii ?
I will look at this hypothesis.

Re:Leptosphaeria on grass
In that genus, it is frequently useful to observe ascospores in ink. Sometimes, P. fuckelii shows a sheath on ascospores.
Have you seen it ?
Nevertheless, I think it could be P. fuckelii.

Re:Leptosphaeria on grass
I have material left and I will check on a possible sheath. I will write if I have seen something!

Re:Leptosphaeria on grass
I looked at some ascospores in Indian ink and most of them didn't have a sheath although I also found some spores were a sheath was more or less well visible. Here I show you the best photo I could take. Would you say that P. fuckelii is sure, now that I observed a sheath on at least some spores?

Re:Leptosphaeria on grass
Very good !
I think it's quite sure P. fuckelii.
