[2] It was placed in the new genus Myrmecopterula by the mycologists Caio A. Leal-Dutra, Bryn Tjader Mason Dentinger and Gareth W. Griffith in 2020.

[2] Unlike M. velohortorum (G2) which is cultivated in veiled hanging gardens, M. nudihortorum is cultivated in spongelike masses on the bottom of the garden cavity either under logs or in cavities excavated in the ground.

The garden is not enveloped in or suspended by a woven veil.

This nest building behaviour is more similar to that of lower attine ants which engage in cultivation of Lepiotaceous fungi belonging to the G3 group.

Four other unnamed and poorly documented Myrmecopterula species are known.
