Podospora appendiculata ?

I think maybe I am being too cautious, but as I have not come across this species before I would be grateful for comments / confirmation. I have come to P. appendiculata based on:
The superficial, setose perithecia
The rather distinctive truncate-fusoid shape of the spores (Qe=2.2)
Spore measurements: 26.2-27.9(31.7) x 12.2-13.8µm
The caudae with a central channel
The pedicels having a tendency to collapse
The shape of the immature/developing spores
The fungus took quite a long time (7½ weeks) to mature, it appeared on the dung of mountain/blue hare, Lepus timidus (see also http://www.ascofrance.com/search_recolte/4785).
Merci d'avance
Chris
