Species of Grammothelopsis have fruit bodies that are effused-reflexed, meaning they are crust-like with a margin that is extended and bent backwards. The pores are shallow and irregular. The spores are large, thick-walled, and display a variable dextrinoid reaction to Melzer's reagent.[2]

Species

As of June 2017, Index Fungorum accepts seven species of Grammothelopsis:[3]

  • Grammothelopsis asiatica Y.C.Dai & B.K.Cui (2011)[4] – China
  • Grammothelopsis bambusicola Ryvarden & de Meijer (2002)[5] – Brazil
  • Grammothelopsis incrustata A.David & Rajchenb. (1985)[6]
  • Grammothelopsis macrospora (Ryvarden) Jülich (1982) – Africa
  • Grammothelopsis neotropica Robledo & Ryvarden (2007)[7] – Peru
  • Grammothelopsis puiggarii (Speg.) Rajchenb. & J.E.Wright (1987)[8]
  • Grammothelopsis subtropica B.K.Cui & C.L.Zhao (2013)[2] – southern China

Grammothelopsis fungi occur mainly in tropical Africa and America, with two species reported from China.[2]
