Leucangium is a genus of ascomycete fungus.[1]. The genus was circumscribed by French mycologist Lucien Quélet in 1883.[2] Although classified in the Helvellaceae for the past (i.e., in Dictionary of the Fungi, 10th edition, 2008), phylogenetic analysis indicates it is closely related to the genus Fischerula and Imaia, then must be placed in the Morchellaceae family[3]. The genus has included two species, Leucangium ophthalmosporum Quél. (type of the genus) and L. carthusianum (Tul. & C. Tul.) Paol., and both of them produce sequestrate ascoma, globose to ellipsoidal ascus (inamyloid and 8-spored), and dark olive-colored to grayish green, smooth, fusiform ascospores[4].
