Descomyces Bougher & Castellano 1993

Truffle-like, ectomycorrhizal fungi traditionally placed in the polyphyletic Hymenogaster (traditionally characterised by lacking a columella and by having basal rhizomorphs). Descomyces is characterised by its distinctive spore morphology (smooth rostrum and ornamentation buried in the perisporium) and having a two-layered peridium with swollen cells. Genetically closely related to Descolea.

Three species have been reported from New Zealand, only those listed below have descriptions or images available from NZFungi.
