COPROPHILOUS FUNGI FROM THE FAROE ISLANDS
were completely smooth and colourless in
ripe asci, although the typical unilateral
gel was present. The identity was con-
firmed by the presence of a single apoth-
ecium, identical in all respects except for
two asci with lightly verrucose and pale
purple pigmented spores. Normally pig-
mented spores were observed at later ex-
aminations and, in some asci, spores with
peeling terminal areas of exospore which
would be considered to be A. degluptus
Brumm. Also present on the same mate-
rial (q.v.) were very small apothecia of a
Saccobolus, with no pigment at all, which
appeared not to develop to maturity. 33,

Iodophanus carneus (Pers.) Korf (Figs
5-6)
Bo, Ey, Ku, Vi. Spores of all collections
were larger than described for I. carneus
s.s. by Kimbrough et al. (1969, 15-20 x
7.5-10.5 pm), within the range 19.5-25.5
x 11.2-13.5 pm for five of the collections,
and are nearer to the size Kimbrough et
al. (1969) give for I. testaceus (18-22.5
x 11-14.5 pm), which is, however, de-
scribed as non-coprophilous. They also
had slightly denser callose ornamentation
at the ends of the spores. The sixth col-
lection (43/04) had even larger spores, 26-
32 x 13-16 pm, but in all other respects
was similar to the other collections. Do-
veri (2004) prefers to take the view that /.
carneus is very variable, and gives a wider
range of spore size for /. carneus (17-26.2
x (9.5)10-14.7 pm), a view which I and
others have also followed (e.g. Richard-
son and Watling, 1997, and Dissing, in
Hansen and Knudsen, 2000). 35, 37, 39,
43, 45(H), 47/04.

Lasiobolus lasioboloides Marchal
Ey, St. 31, 41/04.
Saccobolus depauperatus (Berk. &
Broome) E.C. Hansen
Bo. Small apothecia with unpigmented
and unmaturing spores, were otherwise
very like those of S. depauperatus. See
note under Ascobolus stictoideus. 47/04.
