Lyophyllaceae
The Lyophyllaceae is a family of fungi in the order Agaricales. A 2008 estimate indicated eight genera Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial s ... and 157 species; , the Catalog of Life lists 13 genera in the family. Lyophyllaceae was circumscribed by mycologist Walter Jülich in 1981. Some species are popular as edible fungi, such as the brown beech mushroom '' Hypsizygus tessulatus'' and '' Lyophyllum shimeji''. Genera The family currently includes the following genera: *'' Asterophora'' *'' Blastosporella'' *'' Calocybe'' *'' Calocybella'' *'' Gerhardtia'' *'' Hypsizygus'' *'' Lyophyllopsis'' *'' Lyophyllum'' *'' Myochromella'' *'' Ossicaulis'' *'' Rugosomyces'' *'' Sagaranella'' *'' Tephrocybe'' *'' Tephrocybella'' *'' Termitomyces'' *'' Termitosphaera'' See also ...

Sphagnurus
''Sphagnurus'' is a parasitic mushroom genus in the family Lyophyllaceae that creates conspicuous dead patches on peat moss (''Sphagnum'') in bogs. The genus contains one species known to inhabit Eurasia and North America. Phylogenetically the genus is closest to, but is isolated from species now classified in the genus ''Sagaranella'' Prior to molecular analyses, the most recent classification put it in the genus ''Tephrocybe'', but that genus is allied to ''Termitomyces''. ''Sphagnurus paluster'', the single species in the genus is pale grey and has a mycenoid stature (i.e. has a conical pileus (mycology), pileus, a narrow elongated stipe (mycology), stipe and lacks an annulus (mycology), annulus or volva (mycology), volva). Its basidiospores are nonamyloid and smooth. It lacks cystidia, cheilocystidia and pleurocystidia. Clamp connections are present. Etymology The name ''Sphagnurus'' is supposed to be derived from the name of its host ''Sphagnum'' and Latin ''-urus'', mean ...

Myochromella
''Myochromella'' is a mushroom genus in the family Lyophyllaceae that has been segregated from both ''Lyophyllum'' and '' Tephrocybe'' using molecular analyses and was first informally labelled clade 'mycochromella' or section 'Tephrophana p.p.' before being recognized as a genus. The species resemble grey colored ''Collybia''s and grow in forests. Etymology The name ''Myochromella'' is coined from Greek in reference to - (mouse), - (color) and Latin suffix - (small), hence "little mouse color".

Ossicaulis
''Ossicaulis'' is a ditypic genus of mushrooms in the family Lyophyllaceae. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed in 1985 to contain the species originally described as ''Agaricus lignatilis'' by Christian Hendrik Persoon in 1801. This was considered the sole species in the genus until 2007, when Marco Contu validly published a description of '' O. lachnopus'' from collections in Italy.Contu M. (2007). "Funghi della Sardegna: note e descrizioni—VII" garics of Sardinia: notes and descriptions—VII ''Micologia e Vegetazione Mediterranea'' (in Italian). 22 (1): 29–40. Recent analysis (2013) confirms that '' O. lachnopus'' and '' O. lignatilis'' should be considered distinct species.Holec J, Kolarik M (2013). "''Ossicaulis lachnopus'' (Agaricales, Lyophyllaceae), a species similar to ''O. lignatilis'', is verified by morphological and molecular methods". ''Mycological Progress''. 12 (3): 589–97.

Tricholomella
''Tricholomella'' is a fungal genus in the family Lyophyllaceae. The genus is monotypic, containing the single species ''Tricholomella constricta'', described as new to science by the Ukrainian mycologist Mariya Yakovlevna Zerova in 1979. Zerova's original publication was invalid, and it was later republished validly by Kuulo Kalamees in 1992. The fungus is found in Asia and Europe. Taxonomy The presence or absence of siderophilous granulation (iron-staining granules) in the basidia (soire-bearing cells) has been a point of contention in the taxonomic placement of ''Tricholomella''. While this characteristic would suggest attribution to genera like ''Lyophyllum'' or '' Calocybe'', Zerova (1979) denied the presence of such granulation in ''Tricholomella''. This character has also presented problems in other genera such as '' Hypsizygus'' and is considered by some mycologists to be an unreliable taxonomic feature. Description ''Tricholomella constricta'' is a white, fleshy m ...

Termitomyces
''Termitomyces'' is a genus of the termite mushrooms, the basidiomycete fungi belonging to the family Lyophyllaceae. ''Termitomyces'' fungi and fungus-farming termites (Macrotermitinae) co-depend to survive, as the termites house and culture the fungi, and the fungi in turn provide foods for the termites. ''Termitomyces'' mushrooms are edible, and are highly regarded for their flavor. Morphology ''Termitomyces'' includes the largest edible mushroom in the world, ''Termitomyces titanicus'' of West Africa and Zambia, whose cap reaches 1 metre (3.28 ft) in diameter. It also includes '' Termitomyces microcarpus'' that grows caps of a few centimeters in diameter. Life as a ''Termitomyces'' fungus These fungi grow on 'combs' which are formed from the termites' excreta, dominated by tough woody fragments. Some chamber(s) of the nest each contains a structure, called comb or fungus garden, where the fungus dwells. The termites collect and chew up dead wood, leaf litter and oth ...

Gerhardtia
''Gerhardtia'' is a genus of fungi in the family Lyophyllaceae. It was circumscribed in 1994 by French mycologist Marcel Bon, with '' Gerhardtia incarnatobrunnea'' as the type species. It is distinguished from similar genera by having spores with an irregular outline. Some authorities place ''Gerhardtia'' in synonymy A synonym is a word, morpheme, or phrase that means precisely or nearly the same as another word, morpheme, or phrase in a given language. For example, in the English language, the words ''begin'', ''start'', ''commence'', and ''initiate'' are a ... with '' Lyophyllum''. The New Zealand species '' Gerhardtia pseudosaponacea'', described as new to science in 2014, is similar in appearance to '' Tricholoma saponaceum'', including its weakly soap-like odor.

Lyophyllum Shimeji
''Lyophyllum shimeji'', common name, commonly known as the hon-shimeji is an edible mushroom, edible species of fungus in the family Lyophyllaceae that grows in pine forests, often near man-made roads. It was originally only known from Japan, Korea and China, but presently has a known distribution that includes Russia, Estonia, Scandinavia, Czechia and Spain, as well as USA and Canada. It is particularly widespread in lichen pine forests in Sweden, Finland and Norway, after being confirmed from these countries as late as 2011. Ecology ''Lyophyllum shimeji'' grows in pine forests. Edibility This species is considered edible. Several groups, such as Takara Bio and Yamasa, have patented methods to cultivate ''hon-shimeji'', and the cultivated mushroom is available from several manufacturers in Japan. Similar species ''Lyophyllum shimeji'' is similar in appearance to the edible species ''Lyophyllum decastes'' and toxic species ''Lyophyllum loricatum'', ''Lyophyllum connatum'', ''Cli ...

Hypsizygus Tessulatus
''Hypsizygus tessulatus'', the beech mushroom, is an edible mushroom native to East Asia. It is cultivated locally in temperate climates in Europe, North America and Australia and sold fresh in super markets. In nature, these are gilled mushrooms that grow on wood. Most often the mushroom is found on beech trees, hence the common name. Cultivated versions are often small and thin in appearance and popular in many nations across the world. Two commercial variations, both originating from Japan, are known: * ''Buna-shimeji'' ( :ja:ブナシメジ), wild type brown coloration. Known as brown beech mushroom, beech mushroom, brown clamshell mushroom; * ''Bunapi-shimeji'' ( :ja:ブナピー) is a white UV-induced mutant of the former, known as white beech mushroom, white clamshell mushroom. The original strain is registered by Hokto Corporation. Taxonomy A radical alternative view based on ITS DNA barcoding is that all members of the genus are the same species. Similar species Th ...
