Re : probably, close to Pezoloma

Woww! The breaks all generic limits.

Apical rings like Sclerotiniaceae, hairs like Torrendiella, but hyaline, habit like Pezoloma , spores & excipulum ???

This would be interesting to take a sequence!

Re : probably, close to Pezoloma

Not to me but perhaps to Seppo Huhtinen. I sent him your pics (sorry, I did not ask). He is perhaps interested to sequence it. Let us wait  for his answer.
