Hello together, need help. Found 21.12.2019 in a mixed deciduous forest. Growing place was a branch of Sambucus nigra. We think it might be a Eutypa but not sure. Average spore size 4.97 x 1.47 Q=3.42, IKI Reaction not sure, if then little. Any ideas what it might be?

Re : Eutypa ?
Dear Petra,
the identification of Diatrypaceae is most often challenging and requires the accurate observation of several characters, not only ascospores.
A common species on Sambucus is Peroneutypa scoparia, and ascospore dimensions fit fairly well. However the ascus shape on your photos is not typical for this species.
You need information on the ostioles and stromatal configuration. For the latter purpose a vertical section as you did would hav been much more informative if you had used a sharp razor blade. It is important to assess whether ascomata are widespread in a common stroma with separately emergent ostioles (Eutypa or Diatrype) or in small groups with convergent ostioles (Eutypella or Peroneutypa)
The apical ring of P. scoparia is relatively conspicuous for the genus and must be observed in Melzer's reagent after a 15 s pre-treatment in 3% KOH.
If you encounter problems with the vocabulary and the delimitation of genera, I suggest you to consult Rappaz' article (1987).-Taxonomie et nomenclature des Diatrypacées à asques octosporés. Mycologia Helvetica vol 2, n° 3, p. 285-648.
Good luck,
Jacques
