Abstract

The holotype of Helvella pedunculata, housed in the herbarium of the University of Oulu (OULU, Finland), was examined along with other non-type specimens stored under that name. Morphological studies and genetic evidence from 28S rDNA confirm that H. pedunculata is a synonym of Dissingia confusa. Colour pictures of dried and fresh specimens, as well as images of microscopical characters are provided.
