Naiadolina is an agaric fungal genus that produces striking, yellowish fruit bodies on sedges ( Scirpus and Dulichium ) in wetlands in eastern Canada. The lamellae are merulioid, forked and anastomosing. [2] The type species was previously classified as a Marasmius in the Marasmiaceae, but phylogenetically, Naiadolina flavomerulina is in the Physalacriaceae [2] sister to the genus Cryptomarasmius . [3] [4]
The name Naiadolina is an allusion to the naiads or water nymphs in reference to the wetland habitat. [2]
