Mycaureola indica was described in a 1957 publication,[3] but the taxon was later transferred to the genus Polystigma as P. indicum.[4] Molecular phylogenetics placed Mycaureola in the Physalacriaceae, occupying a subclade with species from the genera Rhizomarasmius, Gloiocephala, Xerula, and Oudemansiella.[5]
