Delitschia/Lojkania? on wood

Hello! I found this species that resembles Delitschia on wood in the proximity of a swampy area (Alnus, Populus, Prunus, Salix...). In a quick walkthrough through some keys I didn't find some good matches. Does someone have an idea of what could it be?Spore measurements are:
(21) 21.8 - 25.9 (27.2) × (8.4) 9.2 - 9.9 (10.1) µm
Q = (2.1) 2.3 - 2.7 (2.8) ; N = 53
Me = 23.9 × 9.6 µm ; Qe = 2.5

Edit:
After a bit of reading I now also start to suspect Lojkania.

Lokjana melasperma was my idea, too.Very nice photos, good job.
Molecular data should help to know if this species is a "true" Delitschia.

Hi Tomaz,
good work,
I agree with Alain, I also repeatedly came across this fungus, likewise in aquatic environments and Lojkania melasperma (Cooke) Barr is so far the best name available.
I saw a LSU sequence showing it nested in or close to Delitschia, the closest branch being D. chaetomioides.
This group badly needs to be updated.
Cheers,
Jacques

Thank you Alain and Jacques.
Yes, this was the species I had in thought and it seems to fit the best.
Sorry for a bit late reply.
Best regards,
Tomaz.
