| | pigeon poo fungus ID? Hello all,
This was found a few days ago on a piece of fresh poo from a wood pigeon.
Its extremely tiny, less than pinhead, trooping and appears to be similar to Calocera pallidospathulata, but is white not yellowish and potentially on the wrong substrate. Having said that, the stalk should be white and are 'newly emerged ' specimens paler?
And as far as substrate - these birds cram in so much seed so fast its really just on rotting seed/debris, so could be this ID be right?
Didnt smell it too close...............! 
it was in Yorkshire Chris and I still have the dried specimen if it might help?
Cheers
Ken

it's not Calocera pallidospathulata, but just what it is is a different matter 
could it have been a slime mould? they do occur on dung . . . .
cheers
Chris
