Sulzbacheromyces is a genus of basidiolichens in the family Lepidostromataceae (the only family within the fungal order Lepidostromatales).[1] The genus is distinguished from the other genera of Lepidostromataceae (Ertzia and Lepidostroma) by having an entirely crustose thallus and from Multiclavula (Cantharellales) by having a chlorococcoid (instead of coccomyxoid) photobiont.[2] The type species grows on soil in the neotropics.
