N. kozhevnikovii N. lesdainii Neoechinodiscus is a genus of two species of lichenicolous fungi with uncertain familial placement in the order Helotiales.

Species: These species used to be classified in Echinodiscus, a genus proposed by Javier Etayo and Paul Diederich in 2000.

[1] Diederich subsequently discovered that the fungal use of the genus name was an illegitimate homonym, as it had already been used for a legume genus in 1837, as well as for a diatom genus in 1925.

[2] The replacement name Neoechinodiscus was proposed by Rubén Sierra and Eduardo Molinari-Novoa in 2020.
