Hello Edvin,
perhaps something around Mniaecia nivea (and gloeocapsae) - the liverworts on the foto are characteristic.
I once found a collection in Norway, too :-) - it had larger spores.
I think the group is very insufficiently known.
Best regards, Lothar
do you have more photos in water? In CB I would not describe the oil drops, you get artifacts there. One large drop is surely due to coalescence provoked by lactophenol.
A weakly amyloid reaction is possible, do you have Lugol as well? I remember Trizodia has such reaction and something related to it, whereas Mniaecia is inamyloid.
Maturity you can only estimate in water, then you see which asci are alive and mature.

Apparently the species has inamyloid asci, when you did not get a reaction.
For Mniaecia nivea and M. gloeocapsa I see only LSU in GenBank, no ITS. Also Trizodia includes LSU, so when trying a sequence, LSU would be important.
Hi Edvin,
for me this looks negative :-)
Best regards, Lothar
