Mycosarcoma is a genus of fungus including Mycosocarma maydis (sometimes called Ustilago maydis), or 'corn smut fungus'. Mycosarcoma was an old retired genus name that was resurrected in 2016, based on new genetic evidence, to better organize species that were previously thought unrelated.[2] The six recognized species were in different genera originally until genetic testing showed their relations and they were reclassified as Mycosarcoma.[3]
