Hemmesomyces

Hemmesomyces is a fungal genus in the family Corticiaceae. The genus is monotypic, containing the single corticioid fungus species Hemmesomyces puauluensis, found in Hawaii.[1] Hemmesomyces was circumscribed in 2003 by mycologists Robert L. Gilbertson and Karen Nakasone. It is named after Donald E. Hemmes, a biology professor at the University of Hawaii, "in recognition of his contributions to knowledge of Hawaiian fungi".[2]
