Hello,
i found this fungi on dung of Cavia porcellus. Does anyone have an idea what that is? Maybe Kernia?
Fruitbody: 200 - 250 µ diameter, no hairs
Ascus: not see
Spores: triangolar, 7 x 6 µ
Greetings Sven

Re : Kernia??
Hello Sven
I think it is the genus Kernia, the spore measurement and the shape could be K.hippocrepida or maybe K.peruviana, but the latter has smaller spores. You would have to see if the perithecia are hairy or not, but also if the spores have one or two pores.

Re : Kernia??
Like Michel says, Kernia hippocrepida seems to be a good idea because of the reniform ascospores. Nice found!
Maybe that's a "non-ostiolate relative of Microascus trigonosporus" (Arx et al. 1988).

Re : Kernia??
The little crack in the cleistothecium appears to be showing orange ascospores typical of Kernia and other Microascaceae. If you have young material the developing ascospores may be strongly dextrinoid in Melzer's. I rather doubt it is K. hippocrepida, which has more horseshoe-shaped ascospores.
You might also wish to consider some other fungi previously included in Thielavia, such as Eremodothis angulata and Chaetomium hamadae (described by Cain as Thielavia variospora). A culture with anamorphs would help too.

Re : Kernia??
Hello David,
thank you for your answer! The spores are dextrinoid in Melzers! Maybe someone can give me the literature of Cain?
Greetings Sven
