Taxonomy

This genus was originally classified by the German mycologist Paul Christoph Hennings in 1905 but it became inactive when the species it contained were reclassified as Pterula species. The genus was resurrected in 2020 when a major reclassification of the Pterulaceae family occurred and Pterula was reclassified based on phylogenetic analysis and split into Pterula, Myrmecopterula, Pterulicium and Phaeopterula genera by the mycologists Caio A. Leal-Dutra, Bryn Tjader Mason Dentinger and Gareth W. Griffith.[1][2] Three former Pterula species were added to this genus.

Species

As of October 2022, Species Fungorum accepted 3 species of Phaeopterula.[3]

  • Phaeopterula anomala
  • Phaeopterula stipata
  • Phaeopterula taxiformis
