Description

Conidia was found on top of the bark of Red Maple - Acer rubrum.
I couldn't find where it came from, but I see it often.
Conidia fusiform, with 7-8-septa, slightly bent, with hyaline end cells, measured
*(25.3) 27.2 - 34.3 (37.1) × (4.6) 4.8 - 6.1 (6.4) µm
Q = (4.3) 4.8 - 7.4 (7.5) ; N = 11
Me = 30.9 × 5.3 µm ; Qe = 5.9

I also often find them on loose Ulmus bark when looking for conidia around Orbilia sp. (picture #7 https://inaturalist.org/observations/35958367).

Description

Tiny yellow cushion-like ascomycetes, growing on a blackened clementine leaf, with Coniophora puteana approaching. They are yellow and are covered with long thick-walled hairs. When I squeezed the slide cover, an ocean of rod-like spores came out. Garden. The structures look more like muffins than a disc with a darker area at base. The sample I examined had ~ 26 hairs. The last three micro photos show some asci forms but I am not sure if it is something else or has any relation with it.
