Found on the tallest cow dung pile in the area. Head was missing, obvious spray of conidia on cow pie beneath millipede.
Microscopy - in water and a few with Melzer's reagent (yellow/orange stains) and Methylene blue just to see if there were any reactions and if increased contrast assisted in any features.
Conidiaphores = 200-250 x 27-33 um
Conidia (secondary?)= 60 - 65 um in diameter

Not sure about the identification. Gills white, but not sure whether they were free or attached. I did not harvest, so I did not take a spore print.
