Rutstroemia is a genus of fungi in the family Rutstroemiaceae.[1] It was circumscribed by Petter Karsten in 1871.[2]

The genus name of Rutstroemia is in honour of Carl Birger Rutström (1758–1826), who was a Swedish teacher, botanist and mycologist. Between 1794 and 1798, he worked at the Royal Academy of Turku in Åbo.[3]
