Specimen notes
Public Note:
cited as H. leucopus by Dennis, Kew Bulletin 15: 305, 1961
Public Note:
PDD 19050, PDD 70098 (with ITS), PDD 122699, PDD 122862 (with ITS) are all the same species that has been referred to Hymenoscyphus leucopus, following Dennis 1961. This identifcation is doubtful, see notes in BiotaNZ under H. leucopus. The New Zealand fungus is common on recently fallen Knightia excelsa leaves and has not been observed on other substrates. Based on substrate and macroscopic appearance, PDD 42030 and PDD 49460 are likely to be the same species.
