The genus Scleroderma
comprises ectomycorrhizal epigeous and sequestrate species, with globose
sporocarps that do not forcibly discharge their spores. Within the
Basidiomycota, morphological and molecular studies have confirmed their
Boletoid origin, and the genus is currently placed in the Suborder
Sclerodermatinae within the Boletales. Most lineages within this Order are
recognized ectomycorrhizal mushrooms. A new hypogeous native species associated
to Nothofagus forests was registered
from the Nothofagus forest.
Additionally, four currently recognized species (Scleroderma albidum; S. areolatum; S. bovista and S. citrinum) were identified from numerous herbaria collections and
field collected specimens from introduced tree plantations. These exotic epigeous
Scleroderma species were associated with
various Northern Hemisphere tree species, such as pines and eucalyptus.
Descriptions including MEB photography of the spores and a key of the species
are provided to facilitate their identification.
