There is also the smaller C. aciculare/acicularis.
I think you may be on to something there, thanks Leif.

I'd recognise Cudoniella acicularis because I have seen this plenty of times. But I've never seen Cudoniella clavus and your photo and description look entirely possible. Some further research to do now.

Cheers.
