Pyrenocarp on hard driftwood, Lopez Island, WA. Does not appear lichenized. Still, thought it might be easy as expected possibly in genus known to lichenologists (e.g. Pyrenula, of which saw photos of a tropical species with fairly similar spores). Tried using various references, e.g. Alan Orange 2008 British Pyrenocarpous Lichens.

spores average 18×11u

Thanks Bruce. First feasible answer Granulopyrenis - https://www.facebook.com/groups/150880938305901/posts/5521203941273547/

Interesting to me that although seemingly common here (will try to confirm) it is so obscure, e.g. couldn't find description or photos. Had posted to https://www.facebook.com/groups/ascomycetes/ (yes - lots of fascinating and beautiful posts), and then to https://www.facebook.com/groups/FungusIdentification as well as https://mushroomobserver.org/ but only "Lichens connecting people!" gained a viable response. Recall you mentioning something about some groups that included nonlichenized species being owned by lichenologists.
