Hello everyone, On 08/04/26, I found a growth sit
This species was found on Salix. sp. Diam. max. 3 mm. The spores (8)10-14 x 2-3 (4) µm. The asci are 8 spores 55-65 x 7-8 µm.Paraphyses cylindrical diam. 1,5-2 µm.
Thanks

this looks lke Encoelia fascicularis. But I never saw it on Salix, always on Fraxinus or Populus rarely Sorbus. Typical are the crystals and the grey colour. So are you sure with Salix? Was it a branch attached to a living tree?
The spores are a bit too narrow, they should be 12-15 x 3-4 µm. Perhaps you can make a photo with oil immersion? Did you check the asci with IKI?
E. tiliacea I saw once on Salix, but that species has brown apothecia and also rather large spores.
When you spray your fungus with water it will open and look quite different.
