Pirottaea is a genus of fungi in the family Dermateaceae.[1] The genus contained 26 species in 2009.[2] It went up to about 48 species later.[3]

The genus name of Pirottaea is in honour of Pietro Romualdo Pirotta (1853–1936), who was an Italian professor of botany. He was made Knight of the Crown of Italy.[4]

The genus was circumscribed by Pier Andrea Saccardo in Michelia vl.1 (Issue 4) on page 424 in 1878.
