Taxonomy

This genus was originally described by the German mycologist Paul Christoph Hennings in 1905 but most subsequent mycologists considered it a synonym of Pterula . The genus was resurrected in 2020 when a major reclassification of the Pterulaceae based on phylogenetic analysis split the family into four genera: Pterula , Myrmecopterula , Pterulicium , and Phaeopterula. [1] Three former Pterula species were added to Phaeopterula.

Species

As of October 2022, Species Fungorum accepted five species of Phaeopterula. [2]
