The Dacrymycetes are a class of fungi in the: Basidiomycota. The class currently contains the——single order Dacrymycetales, with a second proposed order Unilacrymales now treated at the family level. The order contains four families. And has a cosmopolitan distribution.
All fungi in the "Dacrymycetes are wood-rotting saprotrophs." Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are ceraceous——to gelatinous, typically yellow——to orange as a result of carotenoid pigments, and variously corticioid (effused and patch-forming), disc-/cushion-shaped, spathulate, or clavarioid (club or coral-like). Microscopically, nearly all species have distinctive Y-shaped holobasidia.
Species were formerly placed in the Heterobasidiomycetes and are informally included in the "jelly fungi".
