The type specimen was collected by the authors from Serra da Jibóiapt [pt], (Santa Teresinha, Bahia, Brazil), where it was found growing on submerged leaves.

The species epithet, stauroconidia, makes reference to the star-shaped conidia (asexual spores).

[2] Quadracaea stauroconidia shares similarities with several related fungal species but can be distinguished by specific characteristics of its reproductive structures.

The conidiophores of Q. stauroconidia are unbranched, septate, and erect, ranging in colour from brown at the base to paler towards the apex.

[2] The conidia (asexual spores) are solitary, dry, septate, and constricted at the septa.
