Rhopalogaster is a genus of hypogeous Basidiomycetes. The genus is monotypic, and contains the single species Rhopalogaster transversarium, found in the USA.[2] This fungus was originally described as new to science in 1811 by French botanist Louis Augustin Guillaume Bosc; Elias Magnus Fries transferred it to Cauloglossum in 1829. The genus was defined in 1902 by John Robert Johnston.[3]
