COPROPHILOUS FUNGI FROM THE FAROE ISLANDS
of which, based on habitat and locality,
were probably from mountain rather than
brown hare. It is interesting to find it in
the Faroe Islands, extending its known
geographical range, but still on its type
substrate. 32(H), 42/04.

Xylariales
Hypocopra cf. equorum (Fuckel) G. Win-

Vi. Material with single perithecia erum-
pent through a splitting stroma. Incom-
pletely mature spores, but some coloured
spores of variable size, 17.5-19.5 x 8-
10.5 pm. No sign of a second basal cell.

Hypocopra parvula Griff.
Ku, St, Va. This material agrees with oth-
er material described from Iceland and the
U.K. It has been suggested that it is not
H. parvula (J. Krug, pers. comm.), but a
new species still to be described. For fur-
ther details and discussion see Richardson
(2004). 31 (H), 44(H), 49/04.
Hypocopra cf. planispora J.C. Krug and
Cain
Bo, Ey, St. Va, Vi. Gregarious, but stro-
mata apparently with single perithecia.
Stromatic surface brown/black velvety
with erect hyphae. Asci 190-225 x 20
pm, pore variable in KI, bright blue to
brown. Spores narrowly ellipsoid, more
than twice as long as wide (Q = 2-2.25),
very slightly asymmetrical in some views,
(24)25.5-32 x 11.2-14 pm, a slight vestige
of second cell in very immature spores.
Gel expanding in water to 8 pm. Germ slit
16-20 pm, 32(H), 36(H), 38(H), 40(H),
41 (H), 42, 46(H), 48(H)/04.
Podosordaria tulasnei (Nitschke) Dennis
Ey, St, Va, Vi. Identification of this spe-
cies is based on the development of the
characteristic long, branching stromata
