Basionym Tuber leptodermum Daskal., Konstantin., N. Tsilis, Polemis & Zervakis, J. Fungi 11 (5, no. 358): 16 (2025).
Diagnosis Ascoma medium sized, dark-brown, peridum thin, up to 150 (170) μm, pseudoparenchymatous, composed of globose-to-angular cells, exoperidium easily scratched off to reveal a light-colored endoperidium; asci 1–4-spored (rather equally varied); ascospores ellipsoid, reticulate–alveolate, with broad meshes. It is found in riparian habitats dominated by Populus and/or Salix spp. T. leptodermum is a phylogenetically distinct species in the Maculatum clade, and represents a sister taxon to T. foetidum, as revealed by the ITS and the concatenated ITS+LSU phylogeny
