Hypsizygus is a small genus of fungi that are widely distributed in north temperate regions. ^[1] The genus was circumscribed by Rolf Singer in 1947. ^[2] The common name for Hypsizygus ulmarius is the elm oyster mushroom.

The genus contains the species H. tessulatus , one of the shimeji mushrooms in Japanese cuisine.

The ITS DNA barcode of these morphospecies are close enough to be considered the same species. ^[3]
