Deconica coprophila on horse dung pellets - are all four the same species ? Maybe the third one is something else ?
Thanks

Hi Steve
I would quickly check this under the microscope - all of them could also be D. subcoprophila, which would be typical on horse dung.
Best regards

OMG there is also subcoprophila! How to tell the difference between the two? I have some microscopic data at hand, such as the spores.

D. subcoprophila has much bigger spores (14-20 x 7.5-10 µm) vs. D. coprophila (12-15 x 7-9.5 µ)

Thanks, Clavaria for the info.
I reworked the spores and the sizes are those below, making it a clear D. coprophila (spore size = mean 12.4 x 7.6)
(10.4) 11.8 - 13.2 (14.1) × (6.2) 6.9 - 8.2 (9.3) err
Q = (1.5) 1.51 - 1.8 (1.9) ; N=31
Me = 12.4 × 7.6 err ; Qe = 1.6 ; Ve = 381 err3
