Malajczukia is a genus of truffle-like fungi in the Mesophelliaceae family.[1] The genus contains eight species found in Australia and New Zealand.[2]

The genus name of Malajczukia is in honour of Nicholas Malajczuk, an Australian botanist (Mycology and Lichenology).[3]

The genus was circumscribed by James Martin 'Jim' Trappe and Michael Angelo Castellano in Austral. Syst. Bot. vol.5 (Issue 5) on page 618 in 1992.[2]
