Sporormia is a genus of fungi in the family Sporormiaceae and part of the phylum Ascomycota.[1] It is morphologically distinct from other genera in this family due to the orientation of cylindrical ascospores contained in a gelatinous sheath within the asci of the fruitbody.[2] It is mostly known for being coprophilous but known to utilize wood as a substrate as well.[3]
