The synonymy is unclear for this name is unclear. 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.
