Popis: During a study on coprophilous fungus diversity in the State of Piauí, Brazil, Utharomyces epallocaulus Boedijn ex P.M. Kirk & Benny was isolated from rabbit dung. Morphologically, this species is characterized by the production of sporangiophores that exhibit a subsporangial vesicle and that emerge from a trophocyst immersed in the substrate. The sporangia are black, with resistant wall, and the sporangiospores are globose to subglobose. The taxon is described and illustrated for the first time in Brazil. Aspects of its morphology are discussed.
