Quadracaea mediterranea is a species of fungus in the division Ascomycota. [1] This hyphomycetes fungus, which is the type species of its genus, was formally described as a new species in 1996. The type specimen of the fungus was collected by Dario Lunghini from fallen leaves of Holm oak ( Quercus ilex ) in the Rio Marina area on the Island of Elba, Italy, on 8 November 1989.
