Platycarpa is a genus of fungus in the orderPlatygloeales,[1] containing the single species Platycarpa polypodii. The species forms effused basidiocarps (fruit bodies) on ferns, on which it is parasitic.
The known host for Platycarpa polypodii is a fern in the genus Polypodium.[2] The fungus parasitizes host leaves, producing basidiocarps as small whitish patches covering the sori. Microscopically, the basidia are auricularioid (tubular with lateral septa) and emerge from thin-walled probasidia. The species was originally described by American mycologistJohn N. Couch based on a collection from Jamaica.[2] A second species, Platycarpa boliviensis, is now considered a synonym of Ptechetelium cyatheae.[2]
