Narasimhella is a genus of fungi in the family Gymnoascaceae.[1]
The genus name of Narasimhella is in honour of Mandayam Jeersannidhi Narasimhan (1891–1970), who was a pioneering Indian plant pathologist and mycologist who worked in the state of Mysore.[2]
The genus was circumscribed by Mandayani Jeersannidhi Thirumalachar and P.N.Mathur in Sydowia vol.19 on page 184 in 1966.
