Butlerelfia is a fungal genus in the family Atheliaceae. The genus is monotypic, containing the single corticioid species Butlerelfia eustacei, recorded from Europe and Canada.[2] The species causes fisheye rot of refrigerated apples. The binomial honors H. J. Eustace and L. F. Butler, who first described the species under the name Corticium centrifugum.
