Conohypha is a genus of two species of fungi in the family Meruliaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Swiss mycologist Walter Jülich in 1975. The crust-like fruit bodies of Conohypha are white to cream in colour and membrane-like. The hyphal system is monomitic, meaning it contains only generative hyphae. These hyphae are hyaline with thin walls, and have clamp connections.[1]
