Genus of fungi
Pterula is a genus of fungi in the Pterulaceae family. The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in tropical regions, and contains about 50 species.[ 1]
One such species, Pterula sp. 82168 , has yielded potential antifungal antibiotic properties.[ 2] [ 3] [ 4]
Taxonomy
A major reclassification of the Pterulaceae family occurred in occurred in 2020 and Pterula was reclassified based on phylogenetic analysis and split into Pterula , Myrmecopterula , Pterulicium and Phaeopterula genera by the mycologists Caio A. Leal-Dutra , Bryn Tjader Mason Dentinger and Gareth W. Griffith .[ 5] [ 6]
Species
As of July 2022[update] , Species Fungorum accepted 67 species of Pterula .[ 7]
