P. fibrillosa | |
Pseudaleuria is a genus of two species of fungi in the family Pyronemataceae. The genus was circumscribed by Demaris Lusk in 1987 to contain the type, P. quinaultiana, a species found in the Olympic Peninsula of North America.[1] P. fibrillosa was transferred to the genus (from Cheilymenia) in 2003.[2]
P. quinaultiana is similar in appearance to Aleuria aurantia (the orange peel fungus), but is shaped more like a saucer than a cup and usually occurs in pairs rather than groups.[3]
