This may be Bertia tropicalis, but I do not see any ascomata that are collapsing (collabent). See:
Molecular systematics of the Coronophorales and new species of Bertia, Lasiobertia and Nitschkia Sabine M. HUHNDORF, Andrew N. MILLER* and Fernando A. FERNA´NDEZ

See the foreground left, i think that you can see any ascomata that are collapsing, you are right with Bertia tropicalis.
What do you think ???

sorry to reply so late thank you for documentation I am very interested by this new species have an idea for the name. It could not be called Bertia mayottensis? Thank you for keeping me informed

Maurice

It is your species so you can name it whatever you like. Bertia mayottensis is available. Do you have a photo of the habitat on Mayotte island where you collected this species? We could publish it in the next issue of Fungal Planet if you have a photo of the habitat.
Happy Holidays,
Andy
