Diagnostic features
Primary appendage consisting of a main axis of three superposed cells (
Fig. 52C
, *), once to three times ramified in branches terminated by elongated antheridia. Primary septum slightly constricted and darkened (
Fig. 52C, a
). A spinous process (the original spore apex, sx) is found on the outer side of the 4
th
cell of the primary appendage (
Fig. 52F
, sx). Perithecium asymmetric, with a strongly convex outer margin and a straight inner margin, gradually tapering towards the pointed apex which shows three long and one short acute lips. [Detailed description:

Remarks
First record from
Denmark
and the first outside the
type
country. The host is quite common and widespread in
Denmark
and not difficult to find under dead and dry bark of various trees (both conifers and deciduous trees), but the fungus is apparently very rarely collected. This species greatly differs from
D. monstruosus
, the
type
of the genus, and its inclusion in
Dipodomyces
requires an emendation of the generic diagnosis (
Majewski 1982
), or the description of a new genus. The trichogyne of this species shows an unusual subspherical shape (
Fig. 52G
, tr). Worth mentioning is the presence of reduced male thalli with apparently functional antheridia, accompanying the normal monoecious thalli (
Fig. 52E
). A photo of this species is given here for the first time.
