Nidularia pulvinata (Schwein.) Fries (Gasteromycetes): a new record from Brazil

Abstract

(Nidularia pulvinata (Schwein.) Fries (Gasteromycetes): a new record from Brazil). A survey of the gasteroid mycota from “cerrado” vegetation of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, revealed for the first time a rare species of nidulariaceous fungi, Nidularia pulvinata, growing on decaying wood of Syagrus flexuosa (Mart.) Beccari (Palmae). Descriptions of the macro and microscopic features of N. pulvinata, including taxonomic considerations, are given.
