Holtermannia is a genus of fungi in the order Holtermanniales. Species produce groups of horn-like gelatinous basidiocarps (fruit bodies) on wood and have associated yeast states. The genus is distributed in southeast Asia and Brazil, and contains six species.[1]
The genus name of Holtermannia is in honour of Carl Holtermann (1866 - 1923) (Norwegian-)German botanist (Mycology) and Professor of Botany at the University of Berlin.[2]
The genus was circumscribed by Pier Andrea Saccardo and Giovanni Battista Traverso in Syll. Fung. vol.19 on page 871 in 1910.
