Abstract A description is provided for Saccobolus quadrisporus. All records of this species are on dung, most and possibly all on bird dung. Some information on its habitat, dispersal and transmission, and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (North America (Canada (Manitoba, Nunavut)), South America (Falkland Islands/Islas Malvinas), Arctic Ocean (Greenland, Norway (Svalbard and Jan Mayen)), Europe (Belgium, Iceland, Russia (Archangel Oblast, Nenets Autonomous Okrug), UK)). No evaluation has been made of any possible positive economic impact of this fungus (e.g. as a recycler, as a source of useful products, as a provider of checks and balances within its ecosystem, etc.). Also, no reports of negative economic impacts have been found.
