Dictyosporium species occur on dead wood and plant litter in terrestrial and aquatic habitats (Ho et al. 2002, Pinnoi et al. 2006, Pinruan et al. 2007, Tibpromma et al. 2018). Dictyosporium was established by Corda (1836) with D. elegans as the type species. Members of this genus are saprobes mostly in terrestrial or aquatic environments (Hyde et al. 2011), while
D. pelagicum has been reported from marine habitats (Jones et al. 2015). In this study, a novel species Dictyosporium marinum is described from a decaying wood buried in beach sand in the UK.

Type species: Dictyosporium elegans Corda, Weitenweber’s Beitr. Nat. 1: 87 (1837).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Dictyosporium.
