128(127) Spores 45-53µm long. _Pyxidiophora petchii_ (fig. 36)
- Spores 53-65µm long. _Pyxidiophora schotterianus_
129(125) Spores 60-70µm long. 130
- Spores (75)80-90(100)µm. Perithecia 120-160µm diam.,
neck 220-370µm long. _Pyxidiophora bainemensis_
130(129) Perithecial necks 300-700µm long. Spores 60-70µm.
Perithecia 100-120µm diam. _Pyxidiophora spinuliformis_
- Perithecial necks 225-265µm long. Spores 65-70µm.
Perithecia 110-125µm diam. _Pyxidiophora marchalii_
131(120) Perithecia small, up to 400µm diam., with hairy necks.
Spores hyaline or pale, coppery-red en masse, extruded
in tendrils. 132
- Perithecia larger, without hairy necks. If smaller than
200µm, with spores smaller than 5 × 3µm. 134
132(131) Spores reniform, with gelatinous sheath, 3.5 × 2-3µm,
yellow, reddish brown _en masse_ in extruded tendrils.
Asci spherical, evanescent. Perithecia black, spherical,
200-400µm diam., with cylindrical neck up to 300µm long,
with sparse pointed hairs. _Microascus longirostris_
- Spores larger, not reniform. Perithecia up to 300µm diam. 133
133(132) Perithecial necks long, up to 750µm, with terminal hairs
up to 1500µm, curved or circinate at tips. Spores
limoniform, 7-10.5 × 5.5-7µm. _Lophotrichus ampullus_
- Perithecial necks short, ca 50µm, with long straight
tapering hairs. Spore shape limoniform/variable, 6-7.5 ×
5-5.5µm, with prominent germ pores. _Lophotrichus bartletti_
134(131) Perithecia up to 150µm diam., immersed but for a conical
neck 50-75µm high. Asci 50 × 2-2.5µm. Spores minute,
cylindrical, 3.5-4.5 × 1.75-2.5µm.
_Phomatospora coprophila_ (fig. 35)
- Perithecia more obvious, often hairy, or tomentose when
young. Immature spores up to 70µm long, wavy
cylindrical, with a row of globules inside and a short
thin appendage at each end. (see _Cercophora_, 49)
135(1) Perithecia immersed, surrounded at the neck by a very
limited flange-like stroma which is easily overlooked.
see _Hypocopra_, 101
or if orange see _Selinia_, 119
- Stroma very conspicuous. 136
136(135) Perithecia in a subglobose group at the tip of the
stromatic stalk. Spores with germ slit and gelatinous
sheath. (_Podosordaria_) 137
- Perithecia not in a terminal head. 139
