On Vaccinium myrtillus I found some brown setose fruitbodies with muriform spores 16.5x5.5µ.Could it be Pleostigma?
Any help would be appreciated.

Re : Setose asco on Vaccinium
Capronia could be a possibility

Dear Marc,
Yes, it cetainly looks like a Capronia. I'd like to culture this fungus if you're willing to send a portion of it to me.
Yours,

Re : Setose asco on Vaccinium
I tried to test hemiamyloidity but I didn't get a clear reaction.
Using a combination of keys of Capronia, C chlorospora was the only one with 5-7 transverse septae but the longitudinal septae in this taxon are located in the middle cells which is not the case here. Another possibility is C mansonii but here there are only 4-5 longitudinal septae and 1 incomplete longitudinal septum.
What do you think?Wendy, I will sent you the twig for further examination.
