Phaeopterula is a genus of fungi in the family Pterulaceae. Basidiocarps are clavarioid and resemble species of Pterula.

Taxonomy

This genus was originally described by the German mycologist Paul Christoph Hennings in 1905 but most subsequent mycologists considered it a synonym of Pterula. The genus was resurrected in 2020 when a major reclassification of the Pterulaceae based on phylogenetic analysis split the family into four genera: Pterula, Myrmecopterula, Pterulicium, and Phaeopterula. Three former Pterula species were added to Phaeopterula.

Species

As of October 2022, Species Fungorum accepted five species of Phaeopterula.

• Phaeopterula anomala
• Phaeopterula hirsuta
• Phaeopterula juruensis
• Phaeopterula stipata
• Phaeopterula taxiformis
