Re : Podospora Pilosa?
Hello Joop!
Your fungus is not Schizothecium pilosum (Mouton) N. Lundq.!
This is the current name for Podospora pilosa. Please look at MycoBank or IF.
Schizothecium pilosum has beside the stiff hairs typical, but often reduced, hairs of the Schizothecium type at the neck, the asci are enlarged and flattened at the apex and it has other spores.
What you show should be Podospora ellisiana (Griffiths) Mirza & Cain.
It seems to be a rare species, which I found only two times, once on horse dung in Germany and once on cow dung in Italy!
Great find!
Best wishes
Norbert
