The genus was circumscribed by Meinhard Michael Moser in Nova Hedwigia vol.10 on page 331 in 1966.[1]
The genus name of Singeromyces is in honour of Rolf Singer (1906–1994), who was a German-born mycologist and one of the most important taxonomists of gilled mushrooms (agarics) in the 20th century.[2]
