Diachea leucopodia is recognized by its cylindrical or elliptical sporotheca, white stalk, violet-brown or light brown spores and dark reddish-brown capillitium.

Although to be a well distributed species, in Brazil this species need attention because many records are from endangered biomes. Thus, I suggest this species to be categorized in Least Concern

There are about 2494 records among 78 countries, 146 of records are from Brazil.

The species is well distributed in Brazil, mostly in northeast region, it is present in Biomes which have been losing its biological diversity due to deforestation, agricultural activities and urbanization.

Some records are from unprotected areas or threatened Biomes.

In Brazil are necessary field collections in other states and moist chamber cultives with others substrates in order to know the distribution of this species
