Five specimens of a rarely encountered fungus were collected by N. S. from twigs of a bamboo in Nam-Nao National Park, Thailand. in August and September 2009–2011 .
The local name, “Siamese jellyball” or “kao-niew ling”,
Numerous bambusicolous fungi have been reported,
with the number of fungal genera reportedly greater in the
tropical regions than other regions due to the higher number
of bamboo species. More than 630 species of fungi are known
from bamboo
Since the Siamese jelly-ball fungus is distinct from any
previously scientifically named fungus, it is described as a monotypic new genus here. It does, however, have some affiliation to Collophora, but molecular evidence supports its separation.
