Holwaya is a genus of fungi in the family Bulgariaceae. Holwaya is monotypic,[1][2] containing the single species Holwaya mucida, which was originally named Bulgaria ophiobolus by Job Bicknell Ellis in 1883,[3] and later transferred to the newly created Holwaya by Pier Andrea Saccardo in 1889.[4] The genus name of Holwaya is in honour of Edward Willet Dorland Holway (1853-1923), who was an American botanist (Mycology) and Banker.[5]

The genus was circumscribed by Saccardo in Syll. Fung. vol.8 on page 646 in 1889.

Holwaya mucida has an anamorph known as Crinula caliciiformis.[1]
