The genus is a monophyletic group that belongs to () and accommodates species distinguished by strongly branched hyphidia in combination with 3-septate basidiospores. While the original circumscription mainly treated European taxa, here we shift the focus to tropical and sub-tropical material and uncover wider variation in morphology within Still united by hyphidia shape and basidiospore septation, the genus is expanded with 10 taxa having pustulate, cerebriform, or stipitate basidiocarps of yellow to dark brown colours, cylindrical to ovoid basidiospores, and hyphal septa with or without clamps. Monophyly of the amended is confirmed with a phylogeny based on six markers (SSU, ITS, LSU, , , and ). As a result, we describe two new species ( and ), transfer three existing species to (, and ), and raise one variety to the species level ( ≡ var. ). In addition, we provide descriptions for the earlier combined and four new informal taxa. Lastly, we present illustrations, a character table, and an identification key that addresses all known dacrymycetes with branched hyphidia.
