Hello,
Yesterday (22-08-2020) I took some horse dung home and moistered it.
Today I saw the Pilobolus.

Re : Pilobolus oedipus
Yes, no doubt, Riet!
Pilobolus oedipus is a typical species on horse dung. With it's double-walled round spores this species is easy to recognise.

Hello Riet!
In my opinion it is indeed P.oedipus, size and shape of the spores as well as the thick walls.
Michel.

Re : Pilobolus oedipus
Thank you very much for your reaction Malcolm!
Indeed, I read a topic on the Dutch site Waarneming.nl about this species.
Very nice that I found this one myself now.

Your 4th photo looks like the face of a clown. Nice find though.
