Taxonomic concepts
Notes
editorial
Galloway (1985) accepted Baeomyces fungoides (Sw.) Ach. for new Zealand, but Galloway (2007) lists Baeomyces fungoides New Zealand records in a synonymy with Dibaeis arcuata. Baeomyces fungoides (Sw.) Ach. was misapplied.
A further complication is that IndexFungorum (April 2020) gives the current name for Bemyces fungoides as Dibaeis arcuata (Stirt.( Kalb & Gierl, which is in New Zealand.
An American synonymy placed Baeomyces fungoides in synonymy with
Dibaeis baeomyces (L. f.) Rambold & Hertel 1993 which was published twice in the year but, however, is invalid in one paper and lillegitimate in the other, according to Index Fungorum
