Bkokoisella

Bkokoisella is a genus of fungi within the family Sclerodermataceae. These fungi are characterized by their generally tough, leathery fruiting bodies, which are typically spherical or somewhat irregular in shape. The outer layer of the fruiting body, known as the peridium, is often thick and may be smooth or ornamented with scales or warts. Inside, the gleba is firm and powdery at maturity, containing the spores. The spores of Bkokoisella are typically globose to subglobose and possess a rough or echinulate surface.

Species within the Bkokoisella genus are known to form ectomycorrhizal associations with trees, playing a role in nutrient cycling within forest ecosystems. They are often found growing on the ground in terrestrial habitats, frequently associated with coniferous or mixed forests. The distribution of Bkokoisella species can vary, with some found in temperate regions and others in more subtropical or tropical environments. The exact taxonomic placement and the number of recognized species within the genus have been subject to ongoing research and revision as molecular phylogenetic studies provide new insights into fungal relationships. Identification of Bkokoisella species often relies on a combination of macroscopic features of the fruiting body and microscopic characteristics of the spores and internal tissues.
