Notes

Proliferodiscus

Spooner (1987) reported one species from New Zealand, Proliferodiscus dingleyae. ITS sequences from cultures from putative P. dingleyae specimens appear to represent four distinct species, forming a monophyletic clade sister to P. alboviridis (GenBank accession U57990) and other unpublished sequences putatively representing P. pulverulaceus and P. earoleucus (Luis Quijada, pers.comm., email 17 May 2017).

Note that the at least two species of tiny hyaloscyphaceous species on Dicksonia fronds in New Zealand and Australia that have branched stipes typical of Proliferodiscus, are genetically distinct. Although closeest to some Hyaloscyphaceae, they cluster with no genera with ITS sequences in GenBank.
