Ceraceomyces Jülich 1972

Notes

Corticioid fungi on fallen wood. Characterised by the hymenial layer usually becoming cracked when dry. The basidia proliferate causing the hymenium to become thicker as the fruiting body ages (distinguishing it from Athelia).

Poorly understood taxonomically. About 3 species have been reported from New Zealand, only those listed below have descriptions or images available from NZFungi.
