The determination seems to me quite certain in spite of the fact that there exists many species in genus. L. occidentalis has relatively large spores, which, together with the substratum, much reduces number of options. The only eventual alternative seems to be Lachnellula willcommii. However it has broader spores (8-10 microns) and it is usually associated with Larix decidua cankers.

There are more than 30 species in Genus Lachnellula, which are not easy to determine to species level. By luck L. splendens has unique spores, so I hope my determination is correct. Lachnellulas seem to be associated with Larix decidua canker and therefore an economically important genus. Growing in a group of four fruit bodies on a single small branch.

Lachnellula occidentalisDE Gemeines Lrchen-HaarbecherchenSlo.: ?Dat.: Dec. 31. 2013Lat.: 46.36021 Long.: 13.70220Code: Bot_778/2013_DSC9552Habitat: alpine valley, mixed forest edge, dominant Fagus sylvatica, Picea abies, Ostrya carprinifolia, Larix decidua, Fraxinus ornus, Fraxinus excelsior, Corylus avellana; modestly southeast inclined mountain slope, calcareous ground (overgrown old scree, rocks and boulders), limestone bedrock, relatively dry and warm place, partly sunny, exposed to direct rain, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 600 m (1.950 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: dead, thin branches of Larix decidua still attached to the tree.Place: Lower Trenta valley, near 'Na Melu' place, between villages Soa and Trenta, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comments: Several fruit bodies on several branches were found. The determination seems to me quite certain in spite of the fact that there exists many species in genus. L. occidentalis has relatively large spores, which, together with the substratum, much reduces number of options. The only eventual alternative seems to be Lachnellula willcommii. However it has broader spores (8-10 microns) and it is usually associated with Larix decidua cankers. All observed fruitbodies, except one (Figs. 9. and 10.), seem to grow on normal not deformed branches. Spores smooth. Dimensions: (16.4) 17.8 - 21.8 (24.6) x (4.8) 6 - 7.9 (9.1) microns, Q = (2.2) 2.4 - 3.4 (3.7) ; N = 31; Me = 20 x 7 microns ; Qe = 2.9.

There are more than 30 species in Genus Lachnellula, which are not easy to determine to species level. By luck L. splendens has unique spores, so I hope my determination is correct. Lachnellulas seem to be associated with Larix decidua canker and therefore an economically important genus. Growing in a group of four fruit bodies on a single small branch. I have been trying hard to find some more fruit bodies, but with no success. Pileus diameter 1.2 (SD = 0.3) mm, n = 4, hairs length: 117 (SD = 23) micr., n = 6.
