small asco on moss

Hi,maybe someone has an idea regarding this asco/lichen:
orange 1 - 1.5mm fruiting bodies, partly with small stipe, on Sanionia uncinata and Barbilophozia barbata, over algae layer, algae partly surrounded by hyphae, on granite rock in very humid oceanic spruce pine forest in the hemiboreal, southern Finland.
I did not see mature spores.

Re : small asco on moss
perhaps try to put a small amount of KOH with a needle to the fresh apothecia. Perhaps it will turn pink. Then it could be a Luteodiscus species. And find ripe apothecia!

Re : small asco on moss
then Luteodiscus is sure. Please try the reaction of the asci with IKI (not Melzer - I hope it works with the unripe ones alraedy) if the porus reacts blue (euamyloid) or red (hemiamyloid). There are two species, L. bryophilus (euam.) and L. hemiamyloideus (hemiam.).

Re : small asco on moss
did the reaction as in Baral et al. 2023 and the tips turned blue

Re : small asco on moss
Luteodiscus bryophilus then
Congratulations - by now I did not find this species myself.

Re : small asco on moss
sorry
L. epibryus is the correct name (not bryophilus).

Re : small asco on moss
Thank you very much Lothar for guiding me through the ID !
I will put the sample to the Turku Herbarium.
here for overview:
Luteodiscus epibryus

moist granite rock in pine/spruce forest on Hirvensalo island, Turku, Southern-Finland
60,39105 N; 22,24529 E; 25m
ex. Barbilophozia barbata & Sanionia uniciata
Apothecia reaction with KOH: pink
Asci reaction with ILl: blue tip
