Maire & Chemin (1922)Type species Mycaureola dilseae
Maire & Chemin (1922)Mycaureola is a genus of fungi in the Physalacriaceae family of mushrooms. Circumscribed in 1922 by French mycologists René Maire and Émile Chemin, the genus is monotypic, containing the single species Mycaureola dilseae.[1] The fungus is a parasite of the red algal species Dilsea carnosa, on which it causes circular necrotic lesions.[2]
Taxonomy
Mycaureola indica was described in a 1957 publication,[3] but the taxon was later transferred to the genus Polystigma as P. indicum.[4] Molecular phylogenetics placed the taxon in the Physalacriaceae, occupying a subclade with species from the genera Rhizomarasmius, Gloiocephala, Xerula, and Udemansiella.[5]
