      One of the rabbit “currents” has suddenly produced what I assume is a hyphomycete. Translucent stalks with black droplets at the end.

      The conidia are produced on what look like fingers and are black granular and with two guttules. They are mostly c9.5 x 5.5.

      I thought I had a copy of A key to Hyphomycetes on dung but it has been corrupted so any chance of an ID or pointer.

      Thanks

        Hi Mal

        Might be worth checking out Stachybotrys chartarum: http://outerhebridesfungi.co.uk/species.php?id=349

          Hi Chris

          Thanks for that. I am sure that’s what I have got. The mico features fit well. I have been waiting for mine to dry out a bit so see what it looked like and I am now sure (or at least as sure as I can be) that Stachybotrys chartarum is the right name.
