Cotylidia Carpatica

''Cotylidia'' is a fungal genus characterized by small to moderately sized, white to palely yet brightly colored, stalked, fan-shaped to funnel-shaped fruit bodie

with a smooth to wrinkled hymenium, tissues composed of monomitic hyphae, basidia producing smooth, nonamyloid spores, the absence of clamp connections, and bearing projecting cylindrical, thin-walled, hymenial cystidia. The genus is classification (biology), classified in the Hymenochaetales, however the type species, ''C. undulata'' has not yet been DNA sequencing, sequenced. Phylogenetics, Phylogenetically-related agaricoid fungi to the two species of ''Cotylidia'' thus far sequenced are in the genera ''Rickenella'', ''Contumyces'', ''Gyroflexus'', ''Loreleia'', ''Cantharellopsis'' and ''Blasiphalia'', and ''Muscinupta'' and the Clavarioid fungi, clavarioid genus, ''Alloclavaria''.

The ecological status of ''Cotylidia'' remains unresolved. They fruit on soil or plant debris, sometimes on burn sites or among bryophytes. The microbiological culture, culture characteristics are unknown.

Etymology

The generic name is derived from Greek (language), Greek and means "small cup" in reference to the fluted glass shape.
