M. contorta M. cordispora M. defibulata M. fistulosa M. juncea M. megasperma M. phacorrhiza M. rigida M. rhizomorpha M. tremula Sclerotium Tode (1790) Macrotyphula is a genus of clavarioid fungi in the family Phyllotopsidaceae.

[1] Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are simple, narrowly club-shaped to filiform, sometimes arising from a sclerotium.

Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, indicates that the genus is monophyletic and forms a natural group.

[1] Sclerotium was introduced by the German mycologist and theologian Heinrich Julius Tode in 1790 to accommodate fungal sclerotia (propagules composed of thick-walled hyphae).

Over 400 species were subsequently added to this form genus, comprising sclerotia or sclerotia-like entities from a wide range of fungi within the phyla Ascomycota and Basidiomycota.
