Ruhlandiella is a genus of fungi within the family Pezizaceae.[1] Ruhlandiella species are exothecial hypogeous fungi, which are essentially truffles that lack the outer layer or peridium.[2] Ruhlandiella species are widely distributed in Nothofagaceae forests in South America and near Eucalyptus or Melaleuca plants in Australia, North America, and Europe.[3]
