Remarks.

See Hjortstam and Ryvarden (1980) for a description and illustration of this species. The authors were unable to obtain sequences of Dentocorticium bicolor from the type locality in South Africa. Maekawa (1994) reported D. sulphurellum from Japan; however, the Japanese specimens may be D. bicolor , for D. sulphurellum appears to be restricted to North America.
