Ostropoloid fungus on Hibiscus

Can you give me any suggestions about this ostropoloid fungus that grows in large groups on Hibiscus syriacus wood? The asci show a reddish reaction in IKI even after pretreatment with KOH, the paraphyses lack a pigmented epithecium, and the spores appear to form chains of cuboid, prismatic or almost roundish part-spores that quickly disarticulate.
I don't even know if it is Stictis, Schizoxylon, or some other related genus.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Re : Ostropoloid fungus on Hibiscus
It appears that the asci are inamyloid. No idea where this reddish reaction is located, can you exclude the ascus plasma?
Inamyloid asci in Ostropales are rather rare, as far as I know. Robergea is inamyloid (even after KOH), but no wonder for a perithecioid fungus.
