Taxonomic remark Currently treated as an accepted name, although a junior homonym of Pilula Massee, 1910 (Ascomycota). From Kalgutkar and Jansonius: Jansonius & Hills (1992, card 4930) interpretated Pilula as a fungus, although Sarjeant had stated (pers. comm.) that the lack of pigmentation had not made that interpretation attractive to the authors. Elsik (in Jansonius & Hills, 1992, card 4930; Jansonius & McGregor, 1996, p. 296) considered Pilula to be a junior taxonomic synonym of Rhizophagites, and speculated that the clear cell wall might indicate that it was a recent contaminant. Kalgutkar, here, thinks that the hyaline, thin vesicle wall makes affiliation to the mycorrhiza not probable. We treat this form as incertae sedis. ... From morphological similarity, it seems possible that Pilula may be related to Ophiobolus. [details]
