I've never seen asci with anything but ovoid spores, the stringy ones look super cool!
Here are the spores, I just couldn't manage a decent photo of them with my cheap microscope.
As a fellow cheap microscope owner, I feel ya. Thanks for sharing anyway.
I have similarly bad photos of spores from a 'Cudonia' spp. I found which are also thin and hard to see (Cudonia is likely going to be combined with Spathularia because they're so close genetically).
