Salut,

in the last days I have collected some dung from various animals (cow, horse...) to culture some coprophilous ascomycota. I have 10 different species now, but with the 11. one I have some problems with determination. Perhaps you can help me ;)

Fruitbody 0,08-0,2 mm, discoidal with protuding asci, first pale ochraceous-yellow, later darker, ochraceous to pale brown.
Spores 8,4-10,1 x 4,2-4,5 µm, ellipsoid with rounded ends, smooth, hyaline, with a DeBary-Bubble (only seen under x1000 with immersion and very good eyes :D ), glued to a cluster, also after leaving ascus, Cluster 26-30 x 8,6 - 8,9 µm.
Asci claviforme, very short stalked, hyalin, with 8 spores and an irregular biseriat arrangement (glued together).
Paraphyses 1,4-1,6 µm, apical strongly swollen up to 5-6 µm, with paly yellowish pigment, smooth.

Found on cow-dung together with Cheilymenia granulata.

It seems as if there is a Coprotus with hyalin, saccoboloid spores...can that be?? Anyway, hope you can give me some hints ;)

Thanks a lot and cheers,
Kazuya
