Found on dead stems in February earlier this year and following regrowth confirmed this substrate. Seeking help identify at least for the genus as at a loss where this belongs, spores shape probably important but apprecaite any help.Substrate: Nepteta cataria (Catmint) dead lower stem.
Ascocarps: Superficial, gregarious, subglobose, 0.1mm rounded black. No obvious ostiole. Surface roughened.
Asci: Clavate, fairly thin-walled, up to 89 – 93 x 9.7 – 10.3 µm, IKI -, 8-spored, uniseriate spores, croziers not obvious and appears negative.
Ascospores: Ellipsoid-fusoid, 1 – 3 septate, 1-2 inside ascus, 3 – matured, turning into one side flattened slightly, with 2-5 fairly large random oil drops, thin walled, no constriction, hyaline 17.0 – 21.5 x 6.0 – 8.0 µm
Excipulum: Textura angularis, hymenium bluing reaction in water.
With many thanks Tony Hardware

Due to the bluing perithecia in transmitted light it all seems to fit Gibberella pulicaris. Thanks to those that took the time to consider. Tony
