Heteromyces is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Cladoniaceae.[1] It is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Heteromyces rubescens. Both the genus and species were described by Swiss lichenologist Johannes Müller Argoviensis in 1889.[2] The name Heteromyces was also used for a genus circumscribed by Lindsay S. Olive in 1957;[3] this usage is illegitimate because of the prior usage of this name by Müller.[4] Olive's concept of Heteromyces was renamed to Oliveonia by Marinus Anton Donk in 1958.[5]
