Metrodia is a genus of fungi in the family Agaricaceae. It was circumscribed in 1971 by mycologist Jörg H. Raithelhuber, with M. collybioides as the type species.[1] M. excissa was added to the genus in 1983.[2]
The genus name of Metrodia is in honour of Georges Métrod (also known Léon Georges Edmond Métrod) (1883 - 1961), who was a French mathematician, botanist (Mycology) and watercolor painter.[3]
The genus was circumscribed in Metrodiana vol.2 (4): xxvii in 1971.[4]
