SUMMARY
Anamorph: not known.
Teleomorph: ascomata perithecial, 60–130 (–180) μm diam., black, subglobose, scattered or in small clusters, initially immersed but becoming erumpent in the upper part. Vegetative hyphae 1–3 μm diam., immersed, brownish, septate, branched, thin-walled. Peridium brown, 8–10 μm thick, composed of several layers of polygonal cells 4–8 μm diam., externally with a thin, dark wall, internally hyaline, lower part covered with numerous elongate vegetative hyphae. Hymenium I+ red, KI+ blue (especially in the basal parts). Interascal tissue absent, periphyses short, simple to 1-septate, 2–3 μm diam. Asci 70-85 × 9–12 μm, cylindrical to cylindric-clavate, short-stalked, the wall thickened in the apical part, fissitunicate, not staining in iodine, (4-) 8-spored. Ascospores obliquely uniseriately to biseriately arranged, (14-) 16-17.5 (-19) × 5-7 μm ((16-) 20 (-22) x (6.5) 8 (-9) fide Hawksworth et al. 2010), ellipsoidal to clavate, with obtuse apices, soon light grey to golden brown inside the asci, 3-septate, strongly constricted at the septa, with many small oil guttules, smooth, with a conspicuous epispore 1-1.5 µm in thickness.
