Sulzbacheromyces is a monospecific genus in the family Lepidostromataceae (the only family] within the fungal order Lepidostromatales). The genus is distinguished from the other genera of Lepidostromatales (Ertzia and Lepidostroma) by having an entirely crustose thallus and from Multiclavula (Cantharellales) by having a chlorococcoid (instead of coccomyxoid) photobiont. The only known species grows on soil in the neotropics.
