I'm not sure if there is a copy of this in America? It may be very obscure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

This is great! Thank you so much for this work. I tried typing it into Google translate but it was so slow and not a good result that I posted it here. I'm glad that you were able to help. Because this work is difficult to find, I wonder if I can try posting the transcription and translation that you provided to MycoBank and Index Fungorum? I don't know if they'll do this sort of thing, but it's worth asking. Please let me know and I'll reach out to them. It seems that this is an actual species of Stictis.
Kind regards, Jason
Kind regards, and thank you once again for your help. This resolved my question about what this fungus is. It is probably a true Stictis species or something close.
"Spores ... disintegrating into separate small segments" (from the translation of the protologue of Stictis phragmitis) reminds me of Stictis dissociativus nom. prov. described (but not formally published as new species) by Gunther van Ryckegem (2005)*: Fungi on common reed (Phragmites australis). Fungal diversity, community structure and decompositions processes.

The former website of this study (including figures of many species) can still be found at

and the description of the mentioned Stictis at: https://web.archive.org/web/20060519034351/http://intramar.ugent.be/nemys/fungi/species.asp?t=207
It has also been found in the Netherlands:

It could refer to the same species. I didn't check the other features.

Martin, the PDF of the protologue and your translation are posted in MycoBank at: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.mycobank.org/MB/253953__;!!DZ3fjg!_6hoRs70_9LGsmHmzRcviFJeWfi76I1tAZWN-bim7XZ63H08z3Q0mFZi4gmtTn1kyII01tX0ZJiOUIOO53f37ye2$
Thank you, Eduard, for the information! I was just checking to see if this wasn't another name for Phragmiticola phragmitis, but it seems to be a true Stictis species
Kind regards, Jason
