Dacrymycetaceae

The Dacrymycetaceae are a familyoffungi in the order Dacrymycetales. Species are saprotrophs and occur on dead wood. Their distribution is worldwide. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are ceraceous (waxy) to gelatinous, often yellow to orange, and variously clavarioid, disc-shaped, cushion-shaped, spathulate (spoon-shaped), or corticioid (effused).

Genera in the Dacrymycetaceae have traditionally been differentiated on basidiocarp morphology, in later years following the monographs of New Zealand mycologist Robert McNabb.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7] Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has however shown that morphology is not a good indicator of natural relationships.^[8] To date, only the recently described genus Dendrodacrysismonophyletic.^[9] The remaining genera await further research.
