Microscopy from the brown/salmon area:
There is definetely something going on there. The salmon is much more pronounced on the photo. I can barely make it out by eye.
I will have a look if I can manage a section from this area.

Pseudombrophila hepatica (Batsch) Brumm., my second ascomycete from my recent trip to the "Vorharz". Growing on rotting grass and droppings of (a small mammal?).
Ascomycete identification is a whole new can of worms for me. This was also only possible with help from the pilzforum.eu.

I would gladly welcome any ideas - on the species but also on how to proceed.

No good matches when I(!) key out with the ascomycete project key or PDS1. However I might have gotten something wrong here.
With Cryptogamia helvetica 23 I arrive at With Cupulina monticola which does not really fit (e.g. many dispersed oil droplets). C. only has 2 accepted sp. and none match.

Tonight I am working on an ascomycete - and I am out of ideas. Maybe @ruhrpottpilze.bsky.social has some Ideas?
It is growing ephemeral on calcareous soil between small mosses (periodically flooded limestone quarry in N ger ~ 100müNHN)

Konidien 1-zellig, ornamentiert etwa 13,5-14,9 x 7,3-8,9 µm. Was nimmt man hier zum bestimmen? Ein versuch mit Ellis führt mich schon nach 2 Schritten zu Wörtern die ich nicht kenne. Ganz andere Welt. Da muss ich mich erstmal einlesen.

That sounds wonderful. It was only 7°C and I was obviously not moving much.
My rainwear for biking is always leaky at some spots however.
Nevertheless - the new site turned out better than expected and I had a wonderful time.
