Byssomerulius is a widely distributed genus of crust fungi.
Taxonomy Byssomerulius was circumscribed by Estonian mycologist Erast Parmasto in 1967. Although traditionally classified in the family Phanerochaetaceae, recent molecular phylogenetic analysis supports the placement of Byssomerulius in the Irpicaceae.
