Hello I want to ask you if you have found this ye
Orbilia from Germany (Schwäbische Alb)

.. on deciduous twig, on and near old specimens of nectrioid fungi.The specimen is not fully ripe, so I found few spores outside the asci.
The rosy-pale apothecia are not (conspicuously) hairy, the excipulum of textura globulosa-(angularis), the paraphyses capitate and the asci 8-spores, without croziers.
One spore I could photograph - the form is quite special (?), the spore bodies are mostly roundish.
Can the species be named - or if not: what should be cleared still?
Yours, Lothar
P.S. I also found "Unguiculariopsis" castanea near Stictis in the same tour.

Hi Lothar, look O. comma. The branch should be Ulmus.

Hello Zotto,
thank you - sure!
I did not think of O. comma because I only found O. comma on or below bark on standing trees of Ulmus. Anyway I should have recognised it ...

Re : Orbilia from Germany (Schwäbische Alb)
Yes, it may occur this way as well! In such a case one can check the wood anatomy, while when only taking bark home it is not so easy to recognize Ulmus.
