Considering the great variation in the feeding habits, habitats, and digestive systems of herbivores such as cows and horses, it is no surprise that we find a range of fungi associated with dung (coprophilous fungi). All classes of fungi are found on dung, with the Zygomycetes usually appearing first, followed by the Ascomycetes, and finally the Basidiomycetes.
So why not spend a day looking at dung
Maybe we could have a competition to see who can photograph the best species (I mean of fungi associated with dung). Seriously though, now is a good time to start looking.
I’m just waiting for the replies …. What a load of dung
