from shell hash.
The outer shell layer is mostly eroded, just a couple shells have some spiral ribbing left. (maybe the brown colour is just staining, but I found nothing similar that was not brown).

CORDANA CRASSA Toth

COLLECTION DATA – AC 2456, on wet wood near pond (developed after 3 wks in a moist chamber)
DESCRIPTION - short conidiophores, conidia 18-20x10-11u, 1-septate, dark brown basal cell, light brown apical cell, obclavate (like a pear).
NOTES – There was some taxonomic confusion about the name. Ellis described Cordana boothii Ellis in 1976 (Ellis, 1976) and included Cordana crassa Toth in his book on More Dematiaceous Hyphomycetes (1985). Later he illustrated and described Cordana crassa on Alnus wood in Microfungi on Land Plants (1997 new enlarged edition) with no mention of C. boothii. While the descriptions and illustrations seem remarkably similar he did not suggest that the two names were synonymous. In 2004 Lei Cai et al. (Lei Cai et al., 2004) proposed the synonymy as C. crassa Toth (=C. boothii M.B. Ellis) without further discussion. Cordana crassa Toth (Toth, 1975) predates the name C. boothii M.B. Ellis (Ellis, 1976) therefore the former is considered the correct name for this fungus.
Although the taxonomic situation seems to be resolved a recent key (Ling Qiu et al. 2021) described C. crassa as having unicoloured conidia. I would like to think that this was a misprint since the species clearly has versicoloured conidia (pale upper cell and dark brown basal cell.
This may represent the first report from N. America. MYCOPORTAL LISTS 0 COLLECTIONS AS C. CRASSA AND 3 COLLECTIONS (ALL FROM UK) AS C. BOOTHII
