Dictyocephalos

Dictyocephalos is a genus of fungi in the family Phelloriniaceae of the order Agaricales. The genus is monotypic, and contains the single species Dictyocephalos attenuatus, commonly known as the stalked oddball, which was described by the American botanist Lucien Marcus Underwood in 1901 (as D. curvatus).

Dictyocephalos attenuatus is a unique species of mushroom, as it has a gleba like a puffball, but it also has a stipe and a volva, like an Amanita.
