SUMMARY
Anamorph: probably a species of Cornutispora
Teleomorph: ascomata apothecial, 100–250 µm diam., immersed in host tissue but opening with a broad pore, sometimes with radial splits in the host tissue, often in large clusters. Disc concave, orange-brown to blackish when exposed, the hymenium not blueing in iodine. Exciple ca 40 µm thick, dark grey to brown-black, darker around the pore, the margin scurfy due to adherence of host tissues. Hymenium ca 75 µm thick. Paraphyses ca 1.5 µm diam., slightly swollen at the apices. Asci clavate to cylindrical, usually 16- or 32-spored. Ascospores helically arranged, (22–) 25–32 (–42) × 1.5–2.0 µm, narrowly fusiform, curved or sigmoid, the apices acuminate, 1-septate.
