Known only from the teleomorph, this fungus is characterised morphologically by a membranous fruiting body with no appendages and ascospores with a sparse network of ridges. Ribosomal DNA sequences place the new species within the Onygenales, but comparison with the known genetic diversity within the order linked it to no existing genus or family. It is the first species of Onygenales reported from the shells of terrestrial snails. This fungus has been listed as Critically Endangered in New Zealand and has been previously referred to as ?Trichocomaceae gen. nov.? in those threat lists.} }
