Sporormiella
Sporormiella is a genus of fungi in the phylum Ascomycota whose species can be found worldwide, including the Arctic. It grows primarily on dung but also can be found in soil and plant debris. The exact number of species is debated and can range from 60 to 80 in total depending on the source. A majority of these species are coprophilous, however, there are a few that are endophytes (S. minimoides) and saprobic.
Their lifecycle is thought to require herbivorous digestion, via wild or domestic herbivores, in order for spores to properly germinate although this is still under review. After being consumed and passed through the digestive tract, their fruitbodies utilize herbivorous dung as a substrate to reproduce via asci. This genus is characterized by their dark, olive-brown, 4-celled spores with a defined germ slit that are contained within a gelatinous sheath that they are forcibly ejected from and stick to nearby vegetation where they will hopefully be eaten and repeat their lifecycle.
