Descomyces

Descomyces is a genus of fungus in the family Cortinariaceae. The genus contains five species formerly restricted to Australasia, but now more widespread due to having been spread with Eucalyptus.[2] Descomyces was described in 1993 by mycologists Neale Bougher and Michael A. Castellano.[3]
