Candolleomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Psathyrellaceae.[1][2]
The Candolleomyces genus was created in 2020 by the German mycologists Dieter Wächter & Andreas Melzer when the Psathyrellaceae family was subdivided based on phylogenetic analysis.[3] Many members of the Psathyrella genus were reclassified as Candolleomyces.
The type species, Candolleomyces candolleanus was previously classified as Psathyrella candolleana.[4]
