Nothojafnea is a genus of two species of cup fungi. It was originally described by Indonesian mycologist Mien Achmad Rifai in 1968 to contain the type species Nothojafnea cryptotricha, found in Australia.[1] N. thaxteri, known from Chile and Argentina, was added to the genus in 1971.[2] Both species are thought to be ectomycorrhizal; N. cryptotricha associates with Myrtaceae, while N. thaxteri is found with Nothofagus.[3]
Nothojafnea is traditionally classified in the family Pyronemataceae,[4] due to its ornamented spores and apothecial hairs.[1] Recent molecular evidence suggests that the South American N. thaxteri represents an early diverging lineage in the Tuberaceae, closely related to the Australasian genera Reddellomyces, Labyrinthomyces, and Dingleya.[3]
