Pol DebaenstThe identification took me to Byssonectria deformi
asci 8-spored, weakly IKI+ at tip, ascoplasma dextrinoid; paraphyses filiform with slightly enlarged apices; spores elliptical to broadly fusiform, 1-septate, biguttulate, details much more clearly visible in KOH than Lugol's.Spores:
(9.1) 9.6 – 11.4 (12.8) × (4.6) 4.7 – 5.3 (6.1) µm
Q = (1.7) 1.9 – 2.3 (2.4) ; N = 27
Me = 10.5 × 5 µm ; Qe = 2.1

NOTE: I cannot shrink my images down to 150KB to be uploaded here. they may be viewed at either of the two above links.
IKI is never good for viewing oil drops. KOH o.k. but water shows it as well but KOH may distort the droplet pattern.
I need to see the contents of the living paraphyses. Also a section of the excipulum.
