Rimbachia is a species of fungus in the Tricholomataceae family, and the type species of the genus Rimbachia. It was first described scientifically by the French mycologist Narcisse Théophile Patouillard in 1891.[1]
The fruit bodies of Rimbachia paradoxa are somewhat flattened, with the cap is attached to the stem at an angle, and the spore-bearing surface (the hymenium) is reticulate and gill-like. The fruit bodies are saprobic, growing on dead wood.[2]
