Camillea is a genus of fungi in the family Graphostromataceae. Collectively, the 40+ species in the genus have a widespread distribution, but are especially prevalent in tropical areas.[5] Fruit bodies of Camillea species tend to be cylindrical in shape.[6] The genus was originally circumscribed by Swedish mycologist Elias Fries in his 1849 work Summa vegetabilium Scandinaviae.[7]
