[2] A monotypic genus, it contains the single rare truffle-like species Fevansia aurantiaca, found in old-growth forests of Oregon.

The name Fevansia honors Frank Evans of the North American Truffling Society, who collected the holotype specimen.

The spores are 10–13 by 3.5–5 μm, spindle-shaped, and smooth and appear in large groups to be gray-yellow and appear pale yellow when observed singly.

[3] The fungus was originally classified as a member of the family Rhizopogonaceae (order Boletales) because of its general morphological similarity to the genera Alpova and Rhizopogon section Rhizopogonella.

Recent (2013) molecular phylogenetic analysis, however, indicates that Fevansia is a member of the family Albatrellaceae in the order Russulales.
