Eichleriella

Eichleriella is a genus of fungi in the order Auriculariales.

Species produce effused or cupulate, waxy to leathery basidiocarps (fruit bodies) on wood, with a smooth to spiny surface.

The genus currently contains more than 15 species.

[1][2][3][4] Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has redefined the genus, with some species now placed in Heteroradulum and others transferred to Eichleriella from Heterochaete.

[1] Eichleriella was named by Italian mycologist Giacomo Bresadola in honour of Bogumił Eichler (1843 - 1905), Polish botanist and mycologist.
