Boidinia is a genus of crust fungi in the family Russulaceae. The genus is widely distributed, and contains 10 species. [1] Boidinia was described in 1982 with the type species Boidinia furfuracea (formerly placed in Gloeocystidiellum ). It is named in honor of French mycologist Jacques Boidin. [2]
N. Maekawa (1994) wrote: "The genus Boidinia is a satellite genus of Gloeocystidiellum and differs from the latter in forming loose texture in subiculum and globose, echinulate to verrucose basidiospores." [3]
Boidinia is probably not monophyletic and needs taxonomical redefinition. [4]
The Catalogue of Life, on September 2025, recognizes 12 species of Boidinia [5] :
