Gyromitra

Gyromitra (/ˌdʒaɪəroʊˈmaɪtrə, ˌdʒɪrə-/) is a genus of ascomycete mushrooms found in the northern hemisphere. The genus contains about 18 species.

Analysis of the ribosomal DNA of many of the Pezizales showed the genus Gyromitra to be most closely related to the genus Discina, and also Pseudorhizina, Hydnotrya, and only distantly related to Helvella. Thus the four genera are now included in the family Discinaceae.
