The first record of Lysurus gardneri Berk. in Czechoslovakia is reported, based on a collection made on October 14, 1972 at the Černiš pond dam, 5 km northwest of České Budějovice. Initially misidentified as Anthurus archeri, later examination of photographs revealed the species to be Lysurus gardneri, a rare member of the family Clathraceae. The description is based on literature, as no fresh specimens were available. Eleven fruit bodies were found at the locality.
