Lachnum on Juncus

These tiny Lachnums were growing in a moist depression on dead stems of Juncus cf. effusus.
Paraphyses and hairs with VBs, quite clearly without croziers.
Spores: 7.9 - 10.2 × 1.7 - 2 µm.
Could this be Lachnum caricis? The name implies that it grows at least on Carex -- maybe on Juncus too?

Re : Lachnum on Juncus
Yes I think so, the hairs are often apically slightly inflated in your sample, and a tendency to a spathulate apex is also seen in other docus of the species. L. caricis is also reported on Cladium and Juncus in the literature

Re : Lachnum on Juncus
Thanks for the conformation and info. Again a species missing from our species list.
