Re : Encoelia sp.
Hi Pavol
this looks lke Encoelia fascicularis. But I never saw it on Salix, always on Fraxinus or Populus rarely Sorbus. Typical are the crystals and the grey colour. So are you sure with Salix? Was it a branch attached to a living tree?
The spores are a bit too narrow, they should be 12-15 x 3-4 µm. Perhaps you can make a photo with oil immersion? Did you check the asci with IKI?
E. tiliacea I saw once on Salix, but that species has brown apothecia and also rather large spores.
When you spray your fungus with water it will open and look quite different.

Re : Encoelia sp.
How large are the apos when rehydrated? Did you place them in water? These here are more dry than wet.

Re : Encoelia sp.
Such a size is in the middle of what I have here: rehydrated 2-5 or 5-7 mm on Fraxinus.
