Unknown setiform on dung

Hello forum,
On rabbit dung that I collected 2 weeks ago I found several small (160µ) creamcoloured fruitbodies, hemisphaerical in shape and each with 8-11 septated setae of about 400-450µ long.
Inside I only found cylindrical conidiospores of about 5.5-2.4µ each with 1 or 2 small guttules.
Any idea?
Marc

Hi Marc,
Compare with Volutella (perhaps V. ciliata).
best regards,
Thorben

Marc,
Je pense effectivement que Thorben à raison et qu'il s'agit de Volutella ciliata.

Re : Unknown setiform on dung
Thanks Thorben and Jacky. Volucella fits well.
Does any one has a key of the genus Volutella?
Marc
