unknown pyrenomycet 2

here is my second pyrenomycet I found yesterday. It grew on a thin twig of a deciduous tree. Spores: 21-23 x 5,5-6,5 µm.
Best wishes,

Re:unknown pyrenomycet 2
Hi again,
the large allantoid spores could fit Eutypella dissepta (Diatrypaceae) but you need further data to support it.
Please make a vertical section to see how perithecia are arranged, and two slides: one in water or Congo red to see if asci are spindle-shaped and long stipitate, another in Melzer's reagent after pretreatment in 3% KOH to check the presence and reaction of apical ring.
More soon!

Re:unknown pyrenomycet 2
Hello Jacques,
thank you for your good tip. The asci are indeed long stipitate and don't have any reactions in Melzer's reagent.
At first a picture of the perithecia.

Re:unknown pyrenomycet 2
in Eutypella dissepta the apical ring often does not react clearly with iodine. The configuration of the perithecia within the stroma fits E. dissepta. Moreover, the structure of the wood in cross section is much like that of Ulmus, the usual host of this fungus.
I think you can keep this name
