Systematics and research history

Enteridium lycoperdon , releasing spores

The genus was first described in 1791 by Jean Baptiste François Bulliard as Reticularia , the type species was Reticularia lycoperdon . In 1819 Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg described another genus, Enteridium . When both genera were later combined, the name Reticularia should have been the new generic name. However, this collided with the name of a lichen genus, so the name Enteridium was used for the new genus.

The genus includes seven species, including:
