Pseudaleuria

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]
