Mycotodea

Mycotodea is a genus of fungi in the Ascomycota division.^[1] It was later placed in the Leptosphaeriaceae family. The widespread genus contained 14 species,^[2] before most were transferred to Leptosphaerulina and Leptopeltis genera. It was left as a monotypic genus, with just Mycotodea litorea Kirschst. (1939).^[3]
