Based on a combination of morphological characteristics and multigene phylogenetic analyses of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and nuclear large subunit (nLSU) sequences, these specimens were found to represent a highly distinct and strongly supported monophyletic lineage within the family Hydnaceae (Order: Cantharellales; Division: Basidiomycota).
