... but likely a basidiomycete. I hope it is o.k. to make an exception to post this here. I have no idea at all what this could be. Seems to be a basidiomycete (see clamp connection in the second foto). Unfortunately, I did not find ripe structures of any kind. After finding I was not sure this is a fungus at all bur perhaps eggs of any kind of animals. But it isn`t.Is there somebody who has ever seen something similar?
Found in Germany, August 2023, in marshy area on remains of Equisetum fluviatile.
Yours, Lothar

Re : out of topic - peculiar unripe fungus, not an ascomycete
right now I cannot remember the name, but it is depicted amongst the bulbils at the end of the plates in Genera of Hyphomycetes - a very special fungus

Akenomyces costatus
wow - indeed, there it is: Akenomyces costatus. Thank you very much, Thomas!
Now I try to get the paper of the original description.
Trans. Br. mycol. Soc. 82(4): 663 (1984). Does somebody have?

Re : out of topic - peculiar unripe fungus, not an ascomycete
thank you very much, Gernot, for the link.
As it seems the type of A. costatus is from Triticum and very small, and var. enigmaticus is larger and was found by Arnaud on leaves of Carex riparia in a pond area - this sounds more related ecologically to my find.
Does somebody also have access to

Thanks and best regards, Lothar
