DENMARK – Sydsjaelland (SZ) • Denderup Sø i Denderup Vaenge; 55°15.075′ N, 11°57.366′ E; PG82; 5 May 2016; JP 499; JP det.; ZMUC C-F-122983.

Remarks

First record from Denmark. Probably this species is more common than suggested by the scarce number of available records. Perhaps overlooked because of the unusual shape of the thalli which look like tissue strands, an aspect very infrequent in Laboulbeniales.
