The natural habitat of the three species of Sordaria that have been the principal subjects in genetic studies is dung of herbivorous animals. The species S. fimicola is common and worldwide in distribution. The species of Sordaria are similar morphologically, producing black perithecia containing asci with eight dark ascospores in a linear ...
Sordaria macrospora is a species of coprophilous (dung-colonizing) fungus. [1] It is one of several fungal model organisms in biology, e.g. the model of fruiting body development in Ascomycetes. It is a homothallic, self-fertile organism. [2] Ascospores issued from a diploid heterozygous at the spore-color locus, segregate as yellow and black.
Sordaria Stellatospora. The Sordariaceae are a family of perithecial fungi within the Sordariales order. [1] ... Their ascospores are brown to black, ...
Sordaria is a genus of microscopic fungi. It is commonly found in the feces of herbivores. The genus has a widespread distribution, and contains 12 species. [1]
Asci of Morchella elata, Phase contrast image There are eight ascospores in each ascus of Sordaria fimicola.. An ascus (from Ancient Greek ἀσκός (askós) 'skin bag, wineskin'; pl.: asci) [1] is the sexual spore-bearing cell produced in ascomycete fungi.
The order Sordariales is one of the most diverse taxonomic groups within the Sordariomycetes (subdivision Pezizomycotina, division Ascomycota). [1]Species in the order Sordariales have a broad range of ecological diversity, containing lignicolous, herbicolous and coprophilous taxa. [2]

The distribution of coprophilous fungi is closely linked to the distribution of the herbivores on which they rely, such as rabbits, deer, cattle, horses and sheep. [2] Some species rely on a specific species for dung; for instance, Coprinus radiatus and Panaeolus campanulatus grow almost exclusively on horse feces, [6] while others, such as Panaeolus sphinctrinus, can grow on any feces or even ...
