Tomentella is a genus of corticioid fungi in the family Thelephoraceae. The genus is ectomycorrhizal, and widespread, with about 80 species according to a 2008 estimate, although many new species have since been described. Tomentella was circumscribed by French mycologist Narcisse Théophile Patouillard in 1887.
