Cribbea is a genus of secotioid fungi in the family Physalacriaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution in southern temperate areas, and, according to a 2008 estimate, contains four species.[1] A new species, , was reported from Australia in 2009, and in the same publication, C. lamellata was synonymized with . The genus is named after mycologist Joan Cribb, in recognition of her contribution to fungal taxonomy.[2]
Although Rolf Singer, Jorge Eduardo Wright and Egon Horak created the family Cribbeaceae to contain the genus in 1963,[3] molecular phylogenetic analysis has shown that the genus belong to the Physalacriaceae, with affinities to the genera Xerula and Oudemansiella.[2]
