Notes

This distinctive little species could easily be mistaken for a Myxomycete. When young, the pileus is covered by a thin peridium which peels off at maturity, exposing a mass of tortuous hyphae and spores.
A second species, Pilacre divisa, was described from New Zealand by Berkeley (in Hooker 1855, p. 197). The type could not be located but the description suggests that it may well be Phleogena faginea. The species was recorded from New Zealand by Lloyd (1925, p. 1360) as Pilacre faginea.
