Taxonomic remark Originally described as an acritarch or protist, considered by Butterfield (2005) to be a primitive fungus, a conclusion supported by Nagovitsin, 2009. However Butterfield (2014) appears to be more equivocal, stating "In the absence of a direct modern counterpart, it is also premature to conclude that ornate Tappania-like fossils from the early Neoproterozoic of arctic Canada are fungi", while stating a preference for considering both Tappania and Shuiyousphaeridium as "crown-group eukaryotes". Singh et al., 2019 revert to treating this genus as an acritarch, in subgroup Acanthomorphitae, stating "Its biological affinity is still viewed as uncertain because of the limited number of informative characters."
