Queletia is a genus of fungi in the family Agaricaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Elias Magnus Fries in 1872.[1] Fruit bodies of Queletia species are sequestrate with a thin outer skin (peridium) and a harder inner skin that breaks into small pieces with age.[2] The genus is named after French mycologist Lucien Quélet (1832–1899).[3]

The genus contains three species:[4]

  • Queletia andina J.E. Wright (1989)
  • Queletia mirabilis Fr. (1872) (Type species)
  • Queletia turcestanica M.Petrov (1929)

Former species:[4]

  • Q. laceratum (Ehrenb. ex Fr.) S. Ahmad (1941) now Schizostoma laceratum
  • Q. mundkurii S. Ahmad (1941) now Schizostoma mundkurii
