Summary
Dipodascus belongs to the family Dipodascaceae (Endomycetales, Hemiascomycetidae). The genus is characterized by lacking ascogenous hyphae and ascocarps, and possessing typically ∞-spored and bifurcate asci. There are three species: D. albidus Lagerheim, the type species, D. uninucleatus Biggs, and D. aggregatus Francke-Grosmann. The distinguishing characters of these species are outlined in a key to the species.
The life history of D. aggregatus is described for the first time and is compared with that of the other two species.
