Pol DebaenstThe identification took me to Byssonectria deformi

... near Spraitbach (Baden-Wuerttemberg n. Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany, Schwäbisch-Fränkischer Wald, about 500 m NN), on a thin (2 cm) twig of Salix caprea in the air (above 2 m above ground), on the bark, besides the myxomycete Trichia contorta that was detected first. I was not fully sure that the few tiny ascomata were apothecia, but they were soft to prepare under the slide.
I think Dactylospora could be similar, but I have doubt, 1. because I did not detect any amyloid structure (neither the asci nor something else), and 2. the paraphyses do not look very much like Dactylospora (?). Perhaps a Durella? (aff. macrospora)? Unfortunately, I did not see the excipulum well, and there ist not a lot of material left.
Does somebody have an idea?
Best regards, Lothar
