A new collection of a remarkable discomycete Daleomyces phillipsii (Massée) Seaver is reported from Southern Moravia, Czechoslovakia. A detailed description of macro and micro-features with emphasis on conspicuous giant size of fruitbodies is given. Taxonomic problems of this species known in present literature as Peziza proteana (Boudier) Seaver forma sparassoides (Boud.) Korf and of the genus Daleomyces Setch. are discussed. The only previous collection of this fungus described from Czechoslovakia as Aleuria proteana var. slavkoviensis Neuwirth (1946) is evaluated too. The genus Daleomyces with two known species is placed in the family Pezizaceae and a new combination – Daleomyces campbellii (Sacc.) J. Mor. c. n. is made.
