Candolleomyces

Candolleomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Psathyrellaceae.

[1][2] The Candolleomyces genus was created in 2020 by the German mycologists Dieter Wächter & Andreas Melzer when the Psathyrellaceae family was subdivided based on phylogenetic analysis.

[3] Many members of the Psathyrella genus were reclassified as Candolleomyces.

The type species, Candolleomyces candolleanus was previously classified as Psathyrella candolleana.

[4] The genus is named after the specific epithet of the type species.
