taxonomic status
Although not congeneric with the type species of Helicodendron, this fungus matches phylogentically several other fungi with an 'aquatic hyphomycete' lifestyl and morphology, and Helicodendron is a far better name for it than the phylogentically and ecologically distant Lambertella [PRJ, Jan 2020]
