Revisiting Diplococcium peruamazonicum Matsush. (Ascomycota) 31 years after its description
Diplococcium peruamazonicum Matsush. (Helotiales, Ascomycota) is being reported for the first time from Brazil and for the second time worldwide, 31 years after its original description in Peru. This rare ascomycete was found on Marajó Island (Brazilian Amazon) as a saprobic fungus on leaf litter of Astrocaryum vulgare Mart. A detailed morphological description, illustrations and taxonomic comments are provided here, as well as a key to the Diplococcium species recorded in Brazil. This report expands the geographic distribution of D. peruamazonicum in the Amazon.
