    On sheep dung.

    Sporangiophores 2-3 cms, many with single branching.

    Sporangia 45-48 µm wide.

    Spores: 5.5–8.0 x 4.9–7.0 µm, Me= 7.0 x 6.3. Q = 1.1.

    This keys out pretty well to Mortierella bainieri with the caviat that the quotient value would appear low. I say appear low because the keys only give size-ranges but would suggest a higher value.

    Keys:

    Ellis & Ellis – Microfungi on Miscellaneous Substrates – 4 species.

    Gams – A key to the species of Mortierella

    Any comments welcome.
