Notes – The coelomycete genus Infundibulomyces is known only from the tropics and are considered as saprobes (Plaingam et al. 2003, Somrithipol et al. 2008). Species of this genus are characterised by stromatic, cupulate to infundibuliform conidiomata, irregularly branched conidiophores, cylindrical conidiogenous cells and holoblastic cylindrical conidia, bearing two filiform appendages at each end ((Plaingam et al. 2003, Somrithipol et al. 2008). 

Type species: Infundibulomyces cupulatus Plaingam, Somrith. & E.B.G. Jones [as ‘cupulata’], Canad. J. Bot. 81(7): 733 (2003).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Infundibulomyces.
