Descriptive info Upper Paleozoic; Cessoy, France. (Index Nominum Genericorum) [details]
Taxonomic remark From Saxena et al., 2021: Original Diagnosis: In this genus are included fossil forms of which the external features and habitat agree with those of the extant Graphiola (Exobasidiales,Basidiomycota), i.e. fungi specialized in parasitizing palm fronds, where they form peridia consisting of deep, round or oval cupules ... Hughes (1953) recognized that this genus currently is considered to be in the Basidiomycota (Graphiolaceae, Ustilaginales). However, he also stated that this position generally is regarded as dubious. [details]
