COPROPHILOUS FUNGI FROM THE FAROE ISLANDS
Coprínus miser Karst.
Ey, Ku, St, Vi. 31, 35, 39(H), 41, 43,
45/04.
Coprinus stercoreus (Bull.) Fr.
Bo, Ey. 39(H), 46/04.
Coprinus vermiculifer Joss. ex Dennis
Bo, Ey, Vi. 37(H), 43, 47/04.
Panaeolus antillarum (Fr. : Fr.) Dennis
?
Va. Limited material, and not as pale as
illustrated for P. antillarum, for example
in Doveri (2004), so only a provisional
identification. 50(H)/04.
Psathyrella stercoraria (Kiihner & Joss.)
Arnolds ?
Va. Limited material in poor condition,
but best fitting the description of P. sterc-
oraria. 50(H)/04.
Psilocybe merdaria (Fr.) Ricken
Bo, Ey, Ku, St, Va, Vi. 31, 36, 37, 41-44,
45(H), 46, 49/04.
Stropharia semiglobata (Batsch: Fr.)
Quel.
Bo. Present on samples when collected in
the field. 47/04.
MITOSPORIC FUNGUS
Volutella sp.
Ey. This may not be a particularly co-
prophilous species, but the related V. cili-
ata is often recorded on lagomorph dung.
It differs from V. ciliata in having long
black setae, up to 550 pm long, and hya-
line, slightly allantoid spores 9-10 x 2 pm.
36/04.
Acknowledgments
I am grateful to my wife, Barbara, for as-
sistance and tolerance in the field.
