Collariella bostrychodes is a fungal decomposer of lignin and carbohydrate in the family Chaetomiaceae commonly found in soil and dung.[1] The fungus is distinguished by a darkened collar-like ostiole around the ostiolar pore, giving the fungus its name.[1][2] The fungus is highly variable in shape and form, giving raise to the belief that there are two subclades in the species.[2] The ascospores range from lemon-shaped to nearly spherical with slightly pointed ends.[3][4][5] It can grow to be pale green and later turn pale bluish grey or olivaceous with age. The fungus produces the toxic secondary metabolite, chaetochromin.[6]
