fungi in the family Megalosporaceae.[2]
Taxonomy
The genus was
apothecia.[3]
In 2012, Gintaras Kantvilas and H. Thorsten Lumbsch synonymized the genus Austroblastenia (which contained two species) with Megalospora, based on both morphology and molecular phylogeny.[4]
Description
Megalospora is characterised by its large, bicellar
soralia.[4]
