Scutellinia

A group of Scutellinia on a moss covered fallen branch of probably salix in a boggy area alongside a pond.
The spores were av 21.2 x 14.5 Q 1.46 with small/medium amoebic warts. The hairs were mostly up to 520 x 32 with an odd one up to 750.
This looked to me like S olivascens. Because it was immature I left it to mature and get a few more spores. Mounted in a new batch of LCB I was surprised to find the surface of many the spores loosened. None of the species with this spore feature should have hairs of this lenght.
Is this a S superba with extra long hairs, S olivascens with unusual spores or an undescribed species?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Re : Scutellinia
S. superba cannot fit. But the collection seems not enough mature to conclude.

If it was more mature would the hairs be shorter or would the spore surface not loosen?
