Abstract

Dictyonema irrigatum (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) Lücking (Agaricales, Hygrophoraceae) is recorded as a first Basidiolichen from India. It is characterized by the irregularly appressed-filamentous thallus with short horizontal to erect dark blue-green fibrils, hyphal clamp connections and frequent stereoid-corticioid basidiomata.
