coprophilous Scutellinia
Warre Van Caenegem,

Apothecia up to 5 mm
Hairs mostly bi- or trifurcated, sometimes simple, up to 600 µm, mostly between 300 and 500 µm, septated, the top of the hairs are hyaline,
Asci 205-240 x (12-)15-16 µm, 8-spored
Ascospores (16-)17-19(-20) x 10-12 µm, with regular spaced, low wrats
Found in Belgium, Antwerp, Mol, on 10 April 2024.
ITS has been sequenced, and matches 97,7% with Scutellinia sp. (Genbank Accession numbers MW540903.1 en MW540937.1), and 96,9% with S. fimicola (MW540964.1). The morphology does not match with S. fimicola, because of the smaller spores and the larger asci.
Are there any other fimicolous Scutellinia species known?

Re : coprophilous Scutellinia
In the UK we have had at least 4 species which have been found on dung. Unfortunately none fit your specimen but it shows that at least some of the soil inhabiting species can also grow on dung.

Re : coprophilous Scutellinia
my hyperborea/minor from the Alps that I want to re-examine soon was growing on cow dung, too.
I was surprised that it was definitely a Scutellinia and not a Cheilymenia.
