Index Fungorum number: IF 1770; MycoBank number: MB 1770
The generic name Phacidium was introduced by Fries (1815) with Phacidium lacerum as the type species. Phacidium species are widely distributed throughout the globe and has been reported as pathogens on dead leaf tips and as saprobic on dead leaves of several host families (Crous et al. 2014; Li et al. 2020). Both asexual morph and sexual morph of this genus are known (Li et al. 2020). There are 43 taxa are listed in Species Fungorum (2022a, b) (http://www.speciesfungorum.org/Names/Names.asp). However, it is a poorly studied genus due to the lack of molecular data. Here we introduce a new species of Phacidium from decaying wood in terrestrial habitats in China.
