EDGE Species

This species has been described from several countries. It has been identified as an obligate fungus growing on different types of ferns (Erikkson, J., 1981), especially the rachides (Yurchenko, E., 2006). It is likely this species is more widespread in northern Europe (Erikkson, J., 1981), but may also be generally widespread due to its host range.

There is no current information on the population size or distribution trends of this species. However, it is likely widespread within its host range (He et al, 2019).

This species is only known from growing on fern fronds and commonly on Matteuccia (Erikkson, J., 1981). It is described as having greyish-brown uniform, ceraceous fruiting bodies with densely interwoven hyphae (Erikkson, J.,1981).
