Dacrymyces
1817Summary
Dacrymyces is a genus of fungi in the family Dacrymycetaceae. Species are saprotrophs and occur on dead wood. Their distribution is worldwide. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are ceraceous to gelatinous, often yellow to orange, and typically disc-shaped to cushion-shaped. The genus has traditionally been differentiated from other genera in the Dacrymycetaceae on the basis of basidiocarp morphology, following (in recent years) the monograph of New Zealand mycologist Robert McNabb. Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has however shown that morphology is not a good indicator of natural relationships within the Dacrymycetaceae. As a result several species formerly referred to Dacrymyces have been moved to Dacryonaema or Dendrodacrys. ...read more on Wikipedia.
