Campylomyces Nakasone 2004, in Nakasone, Sydowia, 56(2), 261 (2004).

Etymology: campylo- (Gr., campylos = bent, curved), referring to the incurved margins of the fruitbodies + myces (Gr., Myces = mushroom, fungus).

Diagnosis: Basidiocarps: perennial or annual, small, sessile, gregarious, campanulate to cupulate, with a hirsute-strigose outer layer, contracting and involute, ceraceous or corneous when dried but expanded, elastic, and subgelatinous when hydrated. Hymenophore: with numerous sterile hyphal pegs not reacting to potassium hydroxide. Hyphal system: monomitic with nodose-septate generative hyphae, walls may be gelatinized. Basidia: large, clavate, tapering gradually to a stalk at base, up to 180 × 15 μm, with a basal clamp connection, bearing four sterigmata. Basidiospores: large, cylindrical, with a distinct, blunt apiculus, walls thin, hyaline, smooth, inamyloid.
