McGuire (1941) prepared and is molecularly attributed to the genus Sebacina based on an extensive macro- and microscopic overview of North its ribosomal DNA sequence. A striking feature of this newly American taxa and established presence/absence of cystidia described fungus is the production of erect, gelatinous yellow for infrageneric classification and reported clamp connections basidiomes growing epigeously. in several taxa; Ervin (1957) re-organized Sebacina restricting this genus to species with tough-coriaceous to gelatinous Keywords Neotropics .
