This little fungus was on a soil- and moss-covered dead root mass of Betula papyrifera in New Brunswick (45.134° -66.492°). It seems close to species of Tatraea but has rather small ascospores and no bluing of the ascus apex in Melzer's or Lugol's. The ascospores measure 17.4-20.1 x 5.2-5.7 µm, Q = 3.12-3.78. Is there a better genus for this?Windex is a popular product in North America for cleaning Windows. It contains wetting agens but is otherwise similar to water for making mounts of fungal material.

Hello David,
for me this is not Tatraea but quite likely Cudoniella acicularis. You do not show paraphyses, but other characters agree in my opinion.
Yours, Lothar

Hi Lothar..
Yes, I forgot the paraphses. Thanks for the reminder. Here they are. Cudoniella acicularis looks good to me.
