Utharomyces is a fungal genus in the family Pilobolaceae. The genus is monotypic, containing the single coprophilous (dung-loving) species Utharomyces epallocaulus, which is widely distributed in subtropical regions.[1] Utharomyces was circumscribed by the Dutch botanist Karel Bernard Boedijn in 1958.[2] U. epallocaulus has been collected in Bahamas, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Mexico, China, and the United States.[3]
