Meottomyces is a small genus of relatively nondescript, fleshy, brown mushrooms related to Tubaria.[2][3][4] In older classifications it had been included in Pholiota,[5] Phaeogalera,[2][6] or Hemipholiota.[3] Modern molecular evidence suggested recognition of a separate genus when sequences of a collection first identified as Pholiota oedipus, now reclassified in Meottomyces, revealed a unique branch.[4][7] Subsequently, that species was studied by Holec [8] and later as Phaeogalera oedipus was shown to be distinct from Tubaria[2][9] but not the type of Phaeogalera itself. Additional phylogenetic support was provided by Gitte Petersen and others, who clearly showed a separation from Phaeogalera.[4] The genus was erected by Vizzini,[1] for two species and two varieties, all former members of Pholiota.[5] Vizzini treated the name Pholiota oedipus as a misapplied name, but this was contested by Legon, who provided detailed notes on the types and ecology of the type species.[3]
The genus is named after an Italian mycologist, Francesco Meotto, who studies ectomycorrhizal fungi.[10]
