Bourdotia is a genus of fungi in the order Auriculariales. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are effused, waxy, and occur on dead wood. Macroscopically they resemble waxy species of Exidiopsis, but are distinguished microscopically by the presence of gloeocystidia and "myxarioid" basidia (vertically sepate with an enucleate stalk cell). Only the type species, described from France, is currently confirmed as belonging to the genus.
