Notes: also several other species with transversely furrowed spores that are being worked out by
Prof. Nannfeldt, including Urnula platensis Speg. which surely belongs here. Transfer of
these species awaits his further studies. Sarcosoma turbinatum Wakef. with longitudinally
furrowed spores may possibly belong in this section.
