Abstract
A new species of Sporormiella, S. tela, so far only found on dung of Anseriformes, is described and illustrated. The species has a thick mycelial weft covering the pseudothecia. In addition to a collection on Branta canadensis (Canada Goose) dung from New York, 2 collections on goose dung from Iceland, and 1 each on Branta leucopsis (Barnacle Goose) dung from Norway and Canada Goose dung from Germany, 3 close-matching sequences have been identified from environmental samples from Estonia, China (Tibet), and India (Kashmir).
