Dictyonema caespitosum is a species of basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae.[2] Found in Brazil, it was originally described in 1884 by the Chilean botanist Federico Johow, as Laudatea caespitosa.[1] Robert Lücking transferred it to the genus Dictyonema in 2013. Its thallus typically grows over bryophytes, forming a thin mat of [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]], predominantly horizontal [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] that are pale greenish-blue in color. Reproductive structures are rarely observed, with the species usually found in a sterile state. Clamp connections are present in the hyphae.[3]
