Found on horse dung.


Photo of fruitbody is not very clear.

Asci: 8-spores, uniseriate, 485-525x50-60 um, expanding in water up to 71.5 um

Spores: Transversly septated, surrouded by a gelatinous layer 21.3 um wide, 71.9-76.3 (-81.5)x35.5-39 um, no germ slit observed.


In the publication "Addition to the genus Delitschia by Allen & Cain" spore sizes for D. chodocola are 64-82x19.5-28 um and for D. pachylospora 47-65(-75)x25-37 um.

The drawings for D. chodocola do not match with the photos taken while for D. pachylospora they do.


These two species are the only ones having such large spores for 8-spored asci as mentioned in the key list.
