Luteodiscus lecythosporus is separated from the two hitherto known species of Luteodiscus based on unique morphological features and divergent DNA barcoding loci. An updated key to the genus is provided. Luteodiscus epibryus on Scapania americana is reported as new to Washington.
Baral et al. (2024) recently established the genus Luteodiscus Baral, L.G. Krieglst. & Sochorová for two bryophilous ascomycetes with bright yellowish to orange, subsessile to stipitate apothecia. They reported the more common of the two species, L. epibryus (Höhn.) Baral, Sochorová & Halasů (syn. Phialea epibrya Höhn.), on many species of mosses and liverworts […]
