Cytospora or ...?

I found today a small pyreno on Betula pendula, on a fallen branch. This fungus may be a host for yellow-colored Tremella sp. Perithecia are in bundles of 3...8 pieces in each ascostromata, irregularily arranged. Ascostromata are immersed in the bark.
Ascospores hyaline, allantoid, non-septate, single-celled, measurement on the photo.
Asci IKI-, hyaline, almost invisible in MLZ and Congo/SDS.
I myself have not been able to identify the species. I only suggested the genus as Cytospora(Leucostoma?). Please help.

Hallo Sergey,

Thank Yoy very much, Dimitar. It fits not bad and was reported from Betula sp. Also it was reported in conjunction with Peniophora sp. and Peniophora is a host for Tremella mesenterica.
