Good morning all, it's been a while since I have been here as I've been engaged in coastal research.
This was found on a vertical peat face with sphagnum and an alga. Soma data are on the images. Spores are 3-septate, 23.8–26.0 x 7.1–8.4 µm. All preparations are in water.
Any help with identification would be very welcome.
Best regards, Chris

Keys out to Helminthosphaeria ludens here: http://wwx.inhs.illinois.edu/files/5714/0191/3047/Helminthosphaeriaceae_Miller_et_al_Mycologia2014.pdf
but the asci appear bitunicate so maybe a species of Capronia?

Re : Perithecia on Sphagnum
I would agree with Capronia, since paraphysis seem to be lacking

Re : Perithecia on Sphagnum
Many thanks Andy and Pascal. I will look into Capronia first.

Re : Perithecia on Sphagnum
I would also suggest looking into Epibryon, which can be morphologically very similar to Capronia.
Best wishes,

Re : Perithecia on Sphagnum
Could it be the lichen Thelidium zwackhii? It strongly resembles an Epibryon / Capronia but terricolous.
