Abstract

A list of the psilopezioid genera is given with nomenclatural and taxonomic comments. The genera Pachyella and Psilopezia are accepted and an emended circumscription is provided. Psilopezia is treated as a member of the tribe Otideeae in the Pyronemataceae and Pachyella as a member of the Pezizaceae. A key to the genera of psilopezioid fungi, Psilopezia, Pachyella, Iodophanus, Thecotheus, Peiziza, and “Peziza” lechithina, is included.
