Importance and distribution
Muyocopromyces is a fossil epiphyllous callimothalloid fungi belonging to the fossil-genera Callimothallus hence, the structures occur as coalified compressions and permineralizations (Worobiec et al. 2020). Muyocopromyces comprises only one species known from Miocene horizon in Tertiary deposits in South India.
