Hello Bill.
Can you give us the colour of hairs? I suppose they are hyaline, but to be sure.

Re : Cretan ascomycetes
As the spores are verrucose, I exclude the genera Geopora (Sepultaria) and Tricharina, so it could be a member of the genus Jafnea or Aleurina (syn. Jafneadelphus).
Can you send to me a part of the collection for a deep study?
