[2][3] Circumscribed by the American mycologist George Willard Martin in 1937, the genus is characterized by its gelatinous fruiting bodies that often form galls on host organisms.

Syzygospora species possess distinctive features such as thin-walled hyphae with clamp connections, haustorial branches, and a hymenium containing probasidia that develop into elongated, club-shaped basidia.

The genus was circumscribed in 1937 by the American mycologist George Willard Martin, with Syzygospora alba assigned as the type species.

He collected the type specimen of this species in the valley of the upper Chiriquí Viejo River, in Panama.

[5] The fungal genus Syzygospora is characterized by its gelatinous fruiting bodies, which often cause the formation of galls (abnormal growths) on their host organisms.

The internal structure of these fruiting bodies includes thin-walled hyphae, which are thread-like filaments, often featuring clamp connections that assist in cellular division.

They also possess haustorial branches, specialized structures used to draw nutrients from the host, giving them a tremelloid (jelly-like) appearance.
