Hao et al. (2014) introduced Cibaomyces as a new genus in Physalacriaceae to accommodate the new taxa Cibaomyces glutinis as the type species, based on morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses of combined ITS and LSU genes. Cibaomyces has only one accepted species (C. glutinis), which was collected from Yunnan Province, China, and is characterized by collybioid to tricholomatoid basidioma, pileus viscid, sinuate to subdecurrent, relatively distant and with brown lamellar edge hymenophore, sticky and densely covered with felted squamules stipe, thin-walled, ornamented with finger-like projections basidiospores, nearly cylindrical, thin-walled, and often heavily incrusted cystidia. Hao et al. (2014) also showed that Cibaomyces was related to Gloiocephala, Laccariopsis, and Rhizomarasmius.

Type species: Cibaomyces glutinis Zhu L. Yang, Y.J. Hao & J. Qin

Other accepted species: This genus is monotypic.
