Here’s an interesting unidentified ascomycete I found near Occidental, California, during my trip to SOMA Camp last January. About 1 mm tall, growing under a large log, on dung—possibly slug dung.
Here is the iNat link: https://www.inaturalist.ca/observations/258916452
Here is the iNat link: https://www.inaturalist.ca/observations/258916452
Spores: 12.03–15 × 7.67–9.03 µm.
Asci: 16-spored, IKI–
Does anyone have any ideas what species or genus it is? Thanks!

Re : Unidentified asco on dung
This type of hairs can be found in the genus Cheilymenia, but the presence of encrusted hairs would be very unusual for this genus (and of course the presence of a stipe). We cannot totally exclude the genera Lasiobolidium and Trichophaeopsis, but with a low probability. A new species is highly possible.

Re : Unidentified asco on dung
Thank you Nicolas! I will take a look at these genera and will keep you updated when I receive the ITS sequence.
