A Physoderma was found on Myriophyllum spicatum in Michigan. This is the first recorded on this host from this hemisphere. It differs from the Danish P. myriophylli Rostrup in not producing galls on the host and in several aspects of its endobiotic stage. It more closely resembles a Swedish fungus attributed to Physoderma hippuridis by Lagerheim occurring on the same species of host.
