Rhizogonium
According to Meagher (2011), the generic names alludes “to the fact that the sporophytes appear to arise from the ‘root’ of the plant… although they are actually borne on specialised branches at the base of the stem”. However, Crum & Anderson (1981, p. 657) suggest that Rhizogonium “refers to copious paraphyses suggesting a rooted sporophyte.”
