SPHAERIA LYCOPERDOIDES WEIGEL

The status of the name is uncertain.

Sphaeria lycoperdoides (Sphaeria) Weigel, Observ. Bot., p. 47. 1772.

As mentioned in Tulasne and Tulasne (1863), Sphaeria lycoperdoides had been referred to H. coccineum Bull. [= H. fragiforme (Pers.: Fr.) J. Kickx fil.] or H. fuscum (Pers.: Fr.) Fr. Therefore, it may be considered to be a member of Hypoxylon section Hypoxylon. The genus name, Lycoperdoides Dillenius [nom. inval., ICBN Art. 13.1] non P. Mich., is possibly represented by S. lycoperdoides.
