Psiloglonium Höhn., Ann. mycol. 16(1/2): 149 (1918).

MycoBank number: MB 4507; Index Fungorum number: IF 4507; Facesoffungi number: FoF 08062; 16 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2020), 7 species with molecular data.

Type species – Psiloglonium lineare (Fr.) Petr., Ann. mycol. 21(3/4): 227 (1923).

≡ Hysterium lineare Fr., Syst. mycol. (Lundae) 2(2): 583 (1823).

= Glonium lineare (Fr.) De Not., G. bot. ital. 2(2): 27 (1847).

Notes – This genus was overviewed by Boehm et al. (2009a, b) and is very similar to Glonium. Both Psiloglonium and Glonium possess hyaline to yellow didymospores, somewhat constricted at the septum, with obtuse or acuminate ends, typically with cells unequal in size, borne in hysterothecia (Boehm et al. 2009a). However, phylogenetically they are distinct and introduced as two genera by Boehm et al. (2009a, b).
