Naiadolina

Naiadolina is an agaric fungal genus that produces striking, yellowish fruit bodies on sedges (Scirpus and Dulichium) in wetlands in eastern Canada. The lamellae are merulioid, forked and anastomosing.^[2] The type species was previously classified as a Marasmius in the Marasmiaceae, but phylogenetically, Naiadolina flavomerulina is in the Physalacriaceae^[2] sister to the genus Cryptomarasmius.^[3][4]
