Phloeomana is a bark-inhabiting agaric fungal genus that produces fuscous-colored mycenoid to omphalinoid fruit bodies in temperate forests. A monotypic genus, it contains the single species Phloeomana speirea. It has nonamyloid smooth, hyaline (translucent) basidiospores and tissues, poorly differentiated cheilocystidia, diverticulate pileipellis hyphae and general smooth stipe hyphae with scattered caulocystidia.[2] It is one of several mushroom genera formerly classified most recently in Mycena or in Omphalina or Hydropus. Phylogenetically, Phloeomana is distant from the Mycenaceae and is closest to a clade or group that includes Atheniella.

Etymology

The name Phloeomana is an oblique reference to bark and phloem on which it grows and the oceanic term, 'mana' in reference to a being or spirit, hence a bark spirit.
