A minute dung cup fungus with some of the largest ascospores known, each wrapped in a gelatinous sheath. It is a classic genetics model. Spore-colour mutants such as the b2 gene let researchers score meiotic recombination directly in asci, and its premeiotic DNA methylation process (MIP) is used to study how methylation suppresses crossing-over.
Not edible: microscopic in scale and of no food value.
