Helotium yunnanense is re‐described based upon examination of the holotype and an epitype designated, due to the lack of apothecia matching the original description in the holotype material. Detailed morphological study indicated that the fungus is a member of the genus Lambertella . A new combination, Lambertella yunnanensis , is, therefore, proposed.
