'''''Sarcomyxa''''' is a small genus of agaricoid fungi in the '''''Sarcomyxaceae'''''.<ref name="Olariaga2020"/> Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are shelf-like and grow on wood. ''Sarcomyxa edulis'' is commercially cultivated for food in Asia.<ref name="Tian2021"/>

The genus is the only member of ''Sarcomyxaceae'', a classification established as a result of molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences.<ref name="Olariaga2020"/>
