Thecotheus formosanus var. collariatus?
Maria Plekkenpol,

On cowdung I found these. Fb white, "sugarcoated", sessile, starting conical but then with broadened apex with hymenium sinking which makes it a bit cupshaped. No hairs, around 1 mm.
Asci cylindrical, quite narrow, 8-spored. 195-218 x 14-15, operculate, amyloid.Two types of paraphyses, both exceeding the asci:
1. hyaline, slightly capitate, apex 4,4-5,6 µ, filled with light yellow VB's
2. Hyaline, septated, very slender, not capitate
Spores ellipsoid and (quite a lot of them) amygdaliform, with cyanophilous and congophilous collarettes. In CB and CR verruculose. 17,9 x 8,8 Q= 2,03.
Can anyone confirm (or not) this determination? Thank you in advance!
Greetings, Maria

Re : Thecotheus formosanus var. collariatus?
Hello Maria.
We can see the collars under the apicles on the spores, which with the ornamentation points towards this species. Nice find!
Michel.

Re : Thecotheus formosanus var. collariatus?
Hello Maria,
like Michel said this is without doubt Th. formosanus v. collariatus. It seems to be a very rare species.
You know my post at Pilzforum.eu?
I think this is still the only collection for germany!

Hello Norbert,
First: thank you for confirming it too!
After arriving at this species with the key inÂ
"AN UPDATED KEY TO COPROPHILOUS PEZIZALES AND THELEBOLALES IN ITALY" by Doveri (2007) I searched the Internet and your post was one of the first I saw!
I was very excited to see everything I had seen in your find and description and the confirmation from Nobi (I am sorry, don't know his full name). I still posted it here, because of the fact that it is so rare: in the Netherlands also only one find by Ron Bronckers years ago.
Again: thanks for your reaction and what a beautiful passion we all have hahaha!Â
