Nine new species are proposed: Genea brunneocarpa, G. compressa, G. dentata, G. fageticola, G. oxygala, G. pinicola, G. pseudobalsleyi, G. pseudoverrucosa, and G. tuberculata to accommodate new collections that do not match any previously described taxa. The new species are described with accurate morphological and ecological data. Genea lobulata is also proposed as a new combination to elevate the previously recognized variety, Genea sphaerica f. lobulata, to the species level. Useful macroscopic images and spore drawings of all ten new taxa are included to help discriminate them from closely related species}}
