Waitea is a
genus of
fungi in the family
Corticiaceae.
Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are
corticioid, thin, effused, and web-like, but species are more frequently encountered in their similar but sterile
anamorphic states. Several species are
plant pathogens, causing commercially significant damage to cereal crops and amenity
turf grass.
