Pseudohiatula is a genus of fungi in the family Physalacriaceae. It was originally described as a subgenus of Mycena by the mycologist Rolf Singer before he moved to its own genus two years later.[1] It was formerly thought to belong in the family Tricholomataceae, but a molecular phylogenetics study found it to be more closely The genus Cyptotrama in the Physalacriaceae.[2] Rolf Singer had previously hypothesized these two genera to be closely related based on morphological features in 1986.[2] It contains five species that are widely distributed in tropical areas.[3]
