Uleothyrium is a genus of fungi in the Asterinaceae family. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the class is unknown ( incertae sedis ), and it has not yet been placed with certainty into any order. [1]
The genus was circumscribed by Franz Petrak in Ann. Mycol. vol.14 (1-2) on pages 65, 96 in 1916 and also in Ann. Mycol. vol.27 (5-6) on page 388 in 1929.
The genus name of Uleothyrium is in honour of Ernst Heinrich Georg Ule (1854–1915), who was a German botanist and plant collector. [2]
