For the purpose of these series of mycological survey, 220 dung samples of wild and domestic animals for determination of species of pyrenomycetous Ascomycetes were collected from various geographic regions of Japan, including Ryukyu and Bonin Islands. Fifteen species of Podospora (the Sor-dariaceae) from numerous collections are described and illustrated. Most of them were also obtained in living cultures. All species are new records in Japan.
