Genus of fungi From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aeruginospora is a genus of fungi in the family Hygrophoraceae. It was formerly placed in the family Tricholomataceae, but it was moved to the Hygrophoraceae in a recent review of the family based on its morphological similarity to Chrysomphalina and especially Haasiella.[1] It might be that Haasiella, which differs in spore color and ecology, is a junior synonym of Aeruginospora, but this has not yet been tested in a molecular phylogenetics study.[1] The genus, described by Franz Xaver Rudolf von Höhnel in 1908, currently contains two species found in New Zealand and Indonesia.[1][2][3] Six species formerly placed in Aeruginospora (A. foetens, A. hiemalis, A. hymenocephala, A. microspora, A. paupertina, and A. schulzeri) were transferred to the genus Camarophyllopsis.[1] A. furfuracea might also belong in Camarophyllopsis, but it has not yet been restudied.[1]
