Parmastomyces
Parmastomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Fomitopsidaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Czech mycologists František Kotlaba and Zdenek Pouzar in 1964, with Tyromyces kravtzevianus Bondartzev & Parm. as the type species. Parmastomyces species cause a brown rot. The genus has a monomitic hyphal system.
The genus name of Parmastomyces is in honour of Erast Parmasto, who was an Estonian mycologist, bio-scientist and botanist and onetime director of the Estonian [Institute of Zoology and Botany].
The genus was circumscribed by Paul [Claude Silva] in Taxon vol.8 on page 63 in 1959.
