Taxon classification Fungi Tremellales Carcinomycetaceae

Syzygospora bachmannii Diederich & M.S. Christ.

Note.

New to Gotland and Medelpad.

This material had been placed in S long ago, but as the specimens have apparently not been published or otherwise recorded elsewhere, we report them here. The species had been previously recorded in the Nordic countries, particularly in Sweden and Finland (Diederich 1996).

New specimens examined.
