A cuniculus, plural cuniculi, is a diversionary water channel, used by ancient civilizations on the Italian Peninsula. As the general ancient Italian use derives from the Etruscan use, the term has a special significance of Etruscan cuniculi. The city of Veii was noted for them. The Italian community of Formello to the north of Veii was named after the numerous cuniculi there.

Coniella fragariae is a plant pathogen. It is known to be pathogenic on eucalypts in a number of countries, including Brazil, India, China and Australia. In 2015, Coniella fragariae was reported as the causal agent for strawberry crown rot in Latvia. In 2018, the fungus was isolated from a goose dung collected in a strawberry field near the sea coast in North Germany. Inferred from the author, it should be a typical plant pathogenic fungus not coprophilous fungus. The plants, strawberry that had been eaten by geese are expected to be the true source of Coniella fragariae. Chemical constitution study showed azaphilone were the main secondary metabolites from this fungus.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Coprophilous fungi</span> Fungi that grow on animal dung

Coprophilous fungi are a type of saprobic fungi that grow on animal dung. The hardy spores of coprophilous species are unwittingly consumed by herbivores from vegetation, and are excreted along with the plant matter. The fungi then flourish in the feces, before releasing their spores to the surrounding area.

Podospora appendiculata is a coprophilous fungus that is most commonly found in the dung of lagomorphs, such as hares and rabbits, in temperate to warm climates. A member of the division Ascomycota, P. appendiculata is characterized by ovoid, hair-studded perithecia which can bear a distinctive violaceous colouring and peridia which are coriaceous, or leathery, in texture. Podospora appendiculata has been shown to produce three compounds with antimicrobial properties.
