Butyrea is a genus of two species of crust fungi in the family Steccherinaceae.
==Taxonomy== The genus was circumscribed by Finnish mycologist Otto Miettinen in 2016 with Butyrea luteoalba as the type species. This fungus was originally described as Physisporus luteoalbus by Petter Karsten in 1887. The generic name, derived from the Latin word butyrum ("butter"), refers to the oil-containing cells (gloeocystidia) that are characteristic of the genus.
