 Note: This species was recorded by Sawada (1912), but he was mistaken as two species existingin one host, and identified them as Pseudolpidium stellatum Sawada and Pseudolpidium fusiformis Cornu. Now we know that there are only one species with two kinds of sporangia: one is smooth on the sporangial wall, the other is spiny. And it has a dark color resting spore, spherical, with broad subulate spines.
