is a genus of ectomycorrhizal truffles within that is known from Australia and contains only two described species, and . Species of are closely related to truffles (, ) and cup fungi () from the Northern Hemisphere. Here we reevaluate the species diversity of and related taxa from southern South America and Australia based on new morphological and molecular data.

- The study focuses on rare truffle-forming fungi, highlighting challenges posed by their unique growth habits and the scarcity of specimens for research.
- Recent fieldwork in North Carolina and Tennessee uncovered new specimens, facilitating a detailed analysis that reclassifies certain fungi within established genera and proposes new formulations.
- The research results include the identification of a new genus, reassignments within the Claustulaceae family, and insights into the ecological roles of these fungi, suggesting they do not form ectomycorrhizal relationships.
Nine new genera, 17 new species, nine new combinations, seven epitypes, three lectotypes, one neotype, and 14 interesting new host and / or geographical records are introduced in this study. New genera: (based on ), (based on ), (based on ), (based on ), (based on ), (based on ), (based on ), (based on ), (based on ).

In this review, we compile 1 154 references published over the last 146 years and provide the first comprehensive global review of mammal species known to eat fungi (508 species in 15 orders). We review experimental studies that found viable fungal inoculum in the scats of at least 40 mammal species, including spores from at least 58 mycorrhizal fungal species that remained viable after ingestion by mammals.
