What is this pyrenomycete causing white lesions in hardwood bark?

Hello all,
In a New York City cemetery last weekend I found a small hardwood branch with the bark beginning to fall away. In the bark are stout black pyrenomycetes in clusters, which seem to be causing white lesions in the bark and wood beneath. The pyrenomycetes can be quite large (by pyrenomycete standards). In the images of the 3 sectioned perithecia, the large one is 1mm wide by 1.5mm tall. It is 2mm tall when measuring from the base to the tip of the neck.
Asci: 153-168 x 7.5-10µm. The spore bearing part 105-125µm. IKI+, the apical plug about 2.5 tall x 3µm wide when mature; much longer in immature asci.
Spores: 13-14 x 6-7µm, brown, ellipsoid to inequalateral ellipsoid, guttulate, usually with one large guttule at the center, with a very inconspicuous germ slit less than spore length.
Can anyone help me put a name on this?
Thanks in advance.
Ethan
