Skepperia

Skepperia is a genus of fungi in the family Thelephoraceae.

The genus was described by mycologist Miles Joseph Berkeley in 1857 to contain the type species Skepperia convoluta.

[1] The genus was circumscribed by Berkeley in Trans.

The genus name of Skepperia is in honour of Edmund Skepper (1825–1867), who was a British botanist and chemist.

[2] It is only recorded as being found in a few places worldwide, America and New Zealand.
