Podospora appendiculata ?

Chris Yeates, 02-03-2020 16:56

I think maybe I am being too cautious, but as I have not come across this species before I would be grateful for comments / confirmation. I have come to P. appendiculata based on:

The superficial, setose perithecia

The rather distinctive truncate-fusoid shape of the spores (Qe=2.2)

Spore measurements: 26.2-27.9(31.7) x 12.2-13.8µm

The caudae with a central channel

The pedicels having a tendency to collapse

The shape of the immature/developing spores

The fungus took quite a long time (7½ weeks) to mature, it appeared on the dung of mountain/blue hare, Lepus timidus (see also http://www.ascofrance.com/search_recolte/4785).

Merci d'avance

Chris
