Re : Pilobolus longipes?
Hello Joop,
this should be Pilobolus oedipus with twin walled spores. It's a typical species on horse dung. P. longipes has very large fruitbodies, up to 30 mm long!

Re : Pilobolus longipes?
Helloo Norbert,,
Thanks for the documentation it is very useful.
Besides that the photo of the columella does not fit with P. oedipus so it originates from another species and can be ignored.
It probably belongs to a P. crystallinus species.

Re : Pilobolus longipes?
I agree with Norbert that these spores are so indicative of P oedipus.
