Found these cup fungi on deadwood last weekend in N Germany. Diameter 0,3 - 0,5 mm, dark brown with a black margin. Asci 110-140 µ, bitunicate (?), no croziers. J-. Spores 34-46 µ, about 10-septate. Paraphyses long, thin & probably branched. I first thought of Patellaria atrata, but not sure whether the spores do fit. Comments welcome.
Thanks Chris

Re : Patella atrata ?
Hi
This is Durella connivens, but the asci should have croziers. Typical is the yellowish vacuolar content in the paraphysis tips. The excipulum in external view is also spectacular.
