HymenogasterNotesTruffle-like, ectomycorrhizal fungi. Hymenogaster in its traditional sense is polyphyletic, and characterised by lacking a columella and by having basal rhizomorphs. In its strict sense, Hymenogaster is characterised by its large, thick-walled, broad-ellipsoid to fusiform spores with a large, cupped hilar appendix.
Represented by a single species in New Zealand, reported by Cunningham, but with apparently no specimens in PDD.
