Anopodium ampullaceum is a species of fungus first discovered by Nils Lundqvist in Sweden, in the year 1964.
[1] Much later on in 1998 M.J. Richardson studied these three fungal species in-depth gathering samples from various regions of Sweden and France.
[2] Anopodium ampullaceum is most commonly characterized by its spores pedicels that face upwards toward the apex of its ascus.
[1] The A. ampullaceum perithecia where spores are discharged is a non-stromatic, membrane enclosed structure, that is light in colour with a dark neck, and is covered in hair.
[1] A. ampullaceum spores begin their cycle as a single cell with a spherical body and a cylindrical apical end.
[2] By its modern name A. ampullaceum has been found in dung samples from Sweden, France and the United Kingdom.
