Byssomerulius is a widely distributed genus of crust fungi.
==Taxonomy== Byssomerulius was circumscribed by Estonian mycologist Erast Parmasto in 1967. Although traditionally classified in the family Phanerochaetaceae, recent molecular phylogenetic analysis supports the placement of Byssomerulius in the Irpicaceae.
