The blue iodine reaction must be after KOH. ITS-Blast gives 98.5% P. pruinosa & P. ericae, so the species remains unclear and might be unsequenced so far.
If you could specify the host this might help.
The dark pycnidial anamorph looks very unusual in Pezicula spp. known to me. Could it be that the black anamorph is the host? Where did you pick up the conidia which are a typical Pezicula anamorph? Inside the black pycnidia?
