Pseudochaete is a genus of green algae, in the family Chaetophoraceae.

[1] However, this genus is not recognized by all authorities, sometimes being considered part of genus Stigeoclonium.

[2] The name Pseudochaete, published by T. Wagner & M. Fischer in 2002, is also used for a genus of fungi belonging to the family Hymenochaetaceae and formerly part of genus Hymenochaete described by Léveillé.

[3][4] According to Index Fungorum, the fungus name is illegitimate (and the algal genus has priority) but its use is widespread.
