Notes:
Apparently directly on white-rotten wood. No sign of polypore fruitbody, although it may be parasitic on the mycelium in the substrate.
Stroma cream; perithecia crowded, embedded except for buff apices. Fruitbody surrounded by white cottony subiculum.
KOH: two or three wine-red spots surrounded by diffuse pale purple on subiculum, but no reaction (brownish) on perithecia.
Ascospores: didymous, 5-7/2.5µm, smaller cell 3/2µm, larger cell 3-4/2.5µm., slightly rough under 100x.
Asci: 8-spored.
Identification uncertain: absence of polypore host, spores too small, inconsistent KOH reaction.
