Molecular phylogenetics
"Mycaureola indica" was described in a 1957 publication, but the taxon was later transferred to the genus "Polystigma" as "P. indicum". Molecular phylogenetics placed "Mycaureola" in the Physalacriaceae, occupying a subclade with species from the genera "Rhizomarasmius", "Gloiocephala", "Xerula", and "Oudemansiella".
