Moreno, Gabriel, Carlos Illana & Jorge R. Deschamps. Comatricha argentinae, a synonym of C. tenerrima. Mycotaxon 106: 69-74. 2008.

ABSTRACT: The type material of Comatricha argentinae was studied. The type is the only known collection of this species, which was described from Argentina. Sporocarp morphology and the typical spore ornamentation under SEM coincide with those of C. tenerrima. Thus, the synonymy of these species is proposed. Light microscope images of sporocarps and capillitium along with scanning electron microscope photographs of spore ornamentation are presented.
