Skvortzovia

Skvortzovia is a fungal genus of unknown placement in the class Agaricomycetes. It is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Skvortzovia furfurella, found in the United States. This crust fungus was originally described by Italian mycologist Giacomo Bresadola in 1925 as Odontia furfurella. Bononi and Hjorstam circumscribed Skvortzovia to contain the species in 1987. The genus name honours botanist Boris Skvortzov, who collected crust fungi extensively in Brazil.
