Willkommlangea Kuntze 1891

Fruiting body a plasmodiocarp, these often broken up into pulvinate sporangia or sometimes massed to form a pseudoaethalium. Hypothallus usually inconspicuous. Peridium cartilaginous, more or less densely encrusted with lime, dehiscence irregular. Capillitium of two types, the first consisting of a series of calcareous plates that divide the plasmodiocarp into segments and the second represented by a network of slender, anastomosing threads bearing a few calcareous nodes and numerous short, sharp-pointed branchlets. Spores dark in mass.
This is a monotypic genus and contains only the single species Willkommlangea reticulata (Lado 2001).
