... Whenever possible, the given dimensions of the spores were based on at least more than one independent literature source (Bell, 1983;Cain, 1934;Doveri, 2007;Lundqvist, 1972;Mirza and Ahmed, 1970). For systematic and taxonomical questions, we follow the most comprehensive and up-to-date publications on dung fungi (Doveri, 2007(Doveri, , 2008. As the common animal names used in the mycological literature are ambiguous, higher ranks are used instead. ...
... P. granulostriata is known from Sweden, the British Isles, Germany, Italy, and Hungary as it appears on the dung of cervines (mostly roe deer) and also of other wild animals (i.e., fox), sheep, and cattle (Doveri, 2008;Ellis and Ellis, 1998;Lundqvist, 1972;Yao and Spooner, 1995). ...
... P. dasypogon (spores 28-40 μm) was scarcely recorded in Sweden and once in Italy, mostly on cattle dung and rarely on horse and sheep dung (Doveri, 2008;Lundqvist, 1972). P. dasypogon grows slowly on old dung and needs at least one month to sporulate (Doveri, 2008). ...
... Thailand showed high diversity of these fungi and species from 11 genera in five orders were identified (Mungai et al. 2011). According to Misra et al. (2014), (Haard 1968, Mirza & Cain 1969, Stalpers 1974, Richardson & Watling 1997, Bell 2005, Doveri 2008). Colony colors were described based on Rayners mycological color chart (Rayner 1970). ...
... Notes: Podospora pauciseta is a common and widespread species of Podospora and is also known as P. anserina (Rabenh.) Niessl (Mirza & Cain 1969, Chang & Wang 2005, Doveri 2008, Mungai et al. 2012. It is similar to P. comata Milovtzova, and P. australis (Speg.) ...
In a study on coprophilous fungi, different samples including cow, sheep and horse dung and mouse feces were collected from different locations in West and East Azarbaijan provinces (NW Iran). Isolation of the fungi was done based on moist chamber culture method. Purification of the isolated fungi was done by single spore culture method. Several fungal taxa were obtained. Identification of the isolates at species level was done based on morphological characteristics and data obtained from internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of ribosomal DNA sequences. In this paper, five taxa viz. Arthrobotrys conoides, Botryosporium longibrachiatum, Cephaliophora irregularis, Oedocephalum glomerulosum, and Podospora pauciseta, all of them belong to Ascomycota, are reported and described. All these taxa are new records for Iran mycobiota.

... Arnium hirtum has ascomata with hairs, and large dark brown ascospores (more than 45 × 20 μm), with long appendages (more than 35 × 7 μm) (Lundqvist 1972). Podospora intestinacea has ascospores with typical dark brown apical cell and a hyaline basal pedicel (Doveri 2008). Arnium, Cercophora and Podospora are interesting because of their coprophilous habitat. ...
Fourty-three species of microfungi from bamboo are treated, including one new family, Occultibambusaceae, three new genera, Neoanthostomella, Occultibambusa and Seriascoma, 27 new species, one renamed species and 15 re-described or re-illustrated species, and four designated reference specimens are treated in this paper, the majority of which are saprobic on dead culms. To determine species identification, separate phylogenetical analyses for each group are carried out, based on molecular data from this study and sequences downloaded from GenBank. Morphologically similar species and phylogenetically close taxa are compared and discussed. In addition a list of bambusicolous fungi published since Hyde and colleagues in 2002 is provided.
... The preference for bovine dung is marked (72%) in Cheilymenia, slighter in Ascobolus (29%) and Schizothecium (20%), while a preference for cervine dung is manifest in Lasiobolus (38%), Table 8) Sporormia fimetaria is a rare but widespread species, preferably growing on bovine (44% of records worldwide) (De Notaris 1849, Pirotta 1878, Spegazzini 1878, Marchal 1883, Griffiths 1901, Massee & Salmon 1901, Angel & Wicklow 1975, Eriksson 1992, Chang & Wang 2009) and ovine (23%) dung (Stratton 1921, Narendra 1973, Richardson 1998). It shows, however, a wide substrate tolerance, as it has been recorded also from goat (Ahmed & Cain 1972, Ahmad & Sultana 1973, Udagawa & Sugiyama 1982) and a variety of dungs (Khan & Cain 1979, Dissing 1992, Richardson 2004a, 2008b) Sporormiella Ellis & Everh.

... Kimbrough et al. (1969) monographed Iodophanus and described I. carneus as one of the commonest coprophilous discomycetes, particularly recording it from bovine dung (57% of records worldwide). There are more than 200 additional records worldwide, partularly from bovine (24%) (Karsten 1861, Coemans 1862, Spegazzini 1878, Heimerl 1889, Denison 1963, Bednarczyk 1974, Thind & Kaushal 1978, Mouso & Ranalli 1989, Prokhorov 1989b, Wang, 1999, De Meulder 2000a, Wang & Wang 2000, Cinto et al. 2007, Richardson 2008c) and ovine dung (23%) (Ahmed et al. 1971, Guarro Artigas 1983, Barrasa 1985, Abdullah & Alutbi 1993, Richardson 2004b, 2005, 2008b,c).

... Doveri, Pecchia, Sarrocco & Vannacci (Table 35) The genus Melanospora is usually isolated from decaying vegetables and soil, or detected in association with other fungi, also on dung, possibly behaving as a mycoparasite (Cannon & Hawksworth 1982). Coprophilous collections of Melanospora are unusual (Faurel & Schotter 1965, Calviello 1976, Lorenzo 1990, Richardson 2004a, 2008b), and I have rarely found records of M. brevirostris (Hansen et al. 1998, Delgado Avila et al. 2001b, Moyne et Petit 2006) and M. zamiae (Seth 1968, Lorenzo 1992, Valldosera & Guarro 1992, Piontelli et al. 2006) directly from dung. Table 36) Mine and Eriksson's (2009) are the only three collections of Persiciospora known from dung, where it possibly behaves as a mycoparasite (Cannon & Hawksworth 1982). ...
Sordariomycetes is an earlier-introduced and one of the widely distributed class of Ascomycota. The class was initially classified based on morphology in having inoperculate and unitunicate asci. With the development of DNA based phylogenetic analysis, several undetermined or polyphyletic members of Sordariomycetes were reclassified. However, not all species belonging to this class have been sequenced and analyzed. There are a number of species, especially those old and poorly studied ones which have never been sequenced before and not even recollected again for further taxonomic verification. One of the main objective in this study is to revise and update the taxonomy of several well-known early and poorly studied species whose classification are still obscure. Herein, we re-examined the type materials and/or authentic specimens together to explore 74 relatively poorly-studied genera, which mainly belong to Boliniales, Calosphaeriales, Chaetosphaeriales, Jobellisiales, and Sordariales classified under Diaporthomycetidae and Sordariomycetidae. We provide descriptions, notes, figures and/or drawings and discussed their phylogenetic relationships. As a result, the monotypic Jobellisiales is transferred from Hypocreomycetidae to Diaporthomycetidae. Based on phylogenetic analysis, the polyphyletic Lasiosphaeriaceae is divided into five families, Bombardiaceae (Apodospora, Bombardia, Bombardioidea, Fimetariella and Ramophialophora), Lasiosphaeriaceae (Anopodium, Bellojisia, Corylomyces, Lasiosphaeria, Mammaria and Zopfiella), Lasiosphaeridaceae (Lasiosphaeris), Strattoniaceae (Strattonia) and Zygospermellaceae (Episternus and Zygospermella). In addition, a new family Neoschizotheciaceae is established based on Neoschizothecium. Analysis of the type species of Boothiella, Stellatospora, Sulcatistroma and Tengiomyces placed them in Sordariaceae, Chaetomiaceae, Hypocreales and Coronophorales, respectively. We classify the genera lacking molecular data based on their morphology and expect them to be recollected; that is, Kacosphaeria in Calosphaeriales; Arnium, Biconiosporella, Camptosphaeria, Diffractella, Emblemospora, Eosphaeria, Periamphispora, Synaptospora and Tripterosporella in Sordariales; Conidiotheca in Sordariomycetes; Copromyces, Effetia, Endophragmiella and Tulipispora are accommodated in Ascomycota. Besides, we establish a new genus Neoschizothecium based on phylogenetic analysis. New combinations proposed: Camaropella amorpha, Cam. microspora, Cam. plana, Cladorrhinum grandiusculum, Cla. leucotrichum, Cla. terricola, Cla. olerum, Helminthosphaeria plumbea, Immersiella hirta, Jugulospora minor, Lasiosphaeris arenicola, Neoschizothecium aloides, Neo. carpinicola, Neo. conicum, Neo. curvisporum, Neo. fimbriatum, Neo. glutinans, Neo. inaequale, Neo. minicaudum, Neo. selenosporum, Neo. tetrasporum, Neurospora autosteira, Podospora brunnescens, P. flexuosa, P. jamaicensis, P. hamata, P. macrospora, P. spinosa, Strattonia petrogale and Triangularia microsclerotigena, T. nannopodalis, T. praecox, T. samala, T. tarvisina, T. unicaudata, T. yaeyamensis. New epithets are proposed for Apiorhynchostoma apiosporum and Podospora dacryoidea.

Es werden 34 Funde von Ascomyceten, die am Reinerkogel im Norden von Graz aufgesammelt wurden, aufgelistet, kurz kommentiert und zum Teil anhand von Fotos illustriert. Sieben dieser nachgewiesenen Arten können als Erstfunde für Österreich gelten (Camaropella lutea, Diaporthe pulla, Lasiobolus macrotrichus, Lasiosphaeria glabrata, Ophiocordyceps entomorrhiza, Trichoderma aureoviride, Woswasia atropurpurea) und 13 als Erstfunde für die Steiermark (Arachnopeziza aranea, Hymenoscyphus dearnessii, Hyphodiscus hymenophilus, Lachnum pudicellum, Lambertella corni-maris, Lophiotrema myriocarpum, Lophiotrema vagabundum, Orbilia aprilis, Podospora setosa, Sowerbyella radiculata, Trichoderma albolutescens, Trichoderma phellinicola, Urceolella crispula). Weitere 13 Arten waren bisher nur von ein oder zwei Fundpunkten in der Steiermark bekannt (Arachnopeziza trabinelloides, Calycina claroflava, Capronia nigerrima, Chaetosphaerella fusca, Hypoderma rubi, Hypoxylon udum, Nitschkia confertula, Onygena corvina, Pleonectria sinopica, Pseudombrophila theioleuca, Trichoderma auranteffusum, Trichoderma crystalligenum, Trichoderma tremelloides). Eine nur auf Gattungsebene bestimmte Aufsammlung (Arachnopeziza sp.) wird beschrieben und diskutiert.
Thirty-four ascomycetes which were collected on Reinerkogel in the north of Graz are presented and discussed briefly as well as partly illustrated by photographs. Seven of these species are considered to be new to Austria (Camaropella lutea, Diaporthe pulla, Lasiobolus macrotrichus, Lasiosphaeria glabrata, Ophiocordyceps entomorrhiza, Trichoderma aureoviride, Woswasia atropurpurea), 13 species are new to Styria (Arachnopeziza aranea, Hymenoscyphus dearnessii, Hyphodiscus hymenophilus, Lachnum pudicellum, Lambertella corni-maris, Lophiotrema myriocarpum, Lophiotrema vagabundum, Orbilia aprilis, Podospora setosa, Sowerbyella radiculata, Trichoderma albolutescens, Trichoderma phellinicola, Urceolella crispula), and another 13 species had previously only been known from one or two locations in Styria (Arachnopeziza trabinelloides, Calycina claroflava, Capronia nigerrima, Chaetosphaerella fusca, Hypoderma rubi, Hypoxylon udum, Nitschkia confertula, Onygena corvina, Pleonectria sinopica, Pseudombrophila theioleuca, Trichoderma auranteffusum, Trichoderma crystalligenum, Trichoderma tremelloides). One collection that could not be identified at species level (Arachnopeziza sp.) is described and discussed.
the author, after mentioning all new coprophilous species found in Italy after his monograph, describes and depicts eight Pyrenomycetes s.l. He also compares them with similar species, dwells upon their spread, and inserts them in updated keys.
