Glischroderma Fuckel

Glischroderma and its type species G. cinctum are redescribed and illustrated with respect to their original description. Subsequent collections of the species show significant divergences, possibly distinct species, which should be investigated from fresh material. American collections referred by Korf to Glischroderma based on the presence of gel and similar conidiogenesis are shown to be distinct from Glischroderma in a number of characters, and a 1999 phylogenetic study has related that anamorph to Pachyphlodes pfisteri. Glischroderma is also distinguished from Ostracoderma by decisive characters.
