Physalacriaceae
The Physalacriaceae are a family of fungi A fungus (: fungi , , , or ; or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and mold (fungus), molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as one ... in the order Agaricales. Species in the family have a widespread distribution, ranging from the Arctic, (''Rhizomarasmius''), to the tropics, e.g. ''Gloiocephala'', and from marine sites (''Mycaureola'') and fresh waters (''Gloiocephala'') to semiarid forests (''Xerula''). Description Most species in the Physalacriaceae form basidiocarp, fruit bodies with pileus (mycology), caps and stipe (mycology), stipes. They have a monomitic hyphal system (wherein only generative hypha are produced), and clamp connections are present in the hyphae. Basidia (spore-bearing cells) are club-shaped with two to four sterigmata. The basidiospores generally have ellipsoidal, spindle-like (fusiform), cylindric ...

Cryptomarasmius
''Cryptomarasmius'' is a genus of fungi in the family Physalacriaceae. Taxonomy The genus covers species formerly placed in ''Marasmius'', section (botany), section ''Hygrometrici''. The section ''Hygrometrici'' was described in 1933 by French mycologist Robert Kühner (as "Hygrometriceae") to contain ''Marasmius'' species that were small with a dark, wiry stipe (mycology), stipe, lamella (mycology), gills not arranged in a collar around the stipe, and a dark pileus (mycology), cap with a layer of broom cells. The type species is ''Cryptomarasmius corbariensis'' (formerly ''Marasmius corbariensis'' and originally ''Agaricus androsaceus'' var. ''hygrometricus'', first described in 1852 by Vincenzo Briganti). ''Cryptomarasmius'' combines the words ''crypto'' meaning "hidden" and ''Marasmius'', alluding to the historical placement of the species within ''Marasmius'' as well as the often hidden, minute fruit bodies they produce. A more recent studies show ''Cryptomarasmius'' to be a ...

Rhizomarasmius
''Rhizomarasmius'' is a genus of fungi in the family Physalacriaceae, containing about five species. General The genus was created in 2000 by Ron Petersen, R. H. Petersen to accommodate two species then classified in Marasmius (''M. pyrrhocephalus'' and ''M. undatus''), but which do not belong there due to morphological grounds, including the nature of the Cystidium, cystidia and the way the mushrooms are rooted on a plant substrate. This analysis was backed up in 2006 by DNA comparisons done by Wilson and Desjardin. Unlike most ''Marasmius'' mushrooms, members of ''Rhizomarasmius'' grow on the rhizomes of ferns or flowering plants, and that is the signification of the genus name. Instead of the Marasmiaceae this genus is placed in the Physalacriaceae, a sister clade but a separate family. Species See also *List of Agaricales genera References

Cribbea
''Cribbea'' is a genus of secotioid fungi in the family Physalacriaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution in southern temperate areas, and, according to a 2008 estimate, contains four species. A new species, '' Cribbea turbinispora'', was reported from Australia in 2009, and in the same publication, ''C. lamellata'' was synonymized with '' C. gloriosa''. The genus is named after mycologist Joan Cribb, in recognition of her contribution to fungal taxonomy. Although Rolf Singer, Jorge Eduardo Wright and Egon Horak created the family Cribbeaceae to contain the genus in 1963, molecular phylogenetic analysis has shown that the genus belong to the Physalacriaceae, with affinities to the genera ''Xerula ''Xerula'' is a genus Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classif ...'' and '' Oudeman ...

Cibaomyces
''Cibaomyces'' is an agaric fungal genus found in China, Japan, France, and Germany in forests containing Fagaceae. It resembles '' Hymenopellis radicata'' because of its size, radiating stipe and glutinous cap. Unlike species in the genus '' Hymenopellis'', ''Cibaomyces'' produces spiny basidiospores. DNA sequence data show it to be distinct from '' Dactylosporina'', another spiny-spored genus in the Physalacriaceae. __TOC__ Etymology The name ''Cibaomyces'' is derived from the Chinese word pronounced "Cibao" which means "echinate Pollen is a powdery substance produced by most types of flowers of seed plants for the purpose of sexual reproduction. It consists of pollen grains (highly reduced microgametophytes), which produce male gametes (sperm cells). Pollen grains h ... spores", and the Ancient Greek, "-myces" referring to a fungus.

Guyanagaster Necrorhiza
''Guyanagaster'' is a genus of fungi in the family Physalacriaceae. The genus contains two wood-decaying sequestrate species ''Guyanagaster necrorhizus'' and ''Guyanagaster lucianii''. The species, found in the neotropical rainforests of the Guiana Shield The Guiana Shield (; ; ; ) is one of the three cratons of the South American Plate. It is a 1.7 billion-year-old Precambrian geological formation in northeast South America that forms a portion of the northern coast.

Mycaureola
''Mycaureola'' is a genus of fungi in the family Physalacriaceae of mushrooms. Circumscribed in 1922 by French mycologists René Maire and Émile Chemin, the genus is monotypic, containing the single species ''Mycaureola dilseae''. The fungus is a parasite of the red algal species '' Dilsea carnosa'', on which it causes circular necrotic lesions. Taxonomy ''Mycaureola indica'' was described in a 1957 publication, but the taxon was later transferred to the genus '' Polystigma'' as '' P. indicum''. Molecular phylogenetics placed ''Mycaureola'' in the Physalacriaceae, occupying a subclade with species from the genera ''Rhizomarasmius'', ''Gloiocephala'', ''Xerula ''Xerula'' is a genus Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classif ...'', and '' Oudemansiella''.

Oudemansiella Australis
''Oudemansiella australis'' is a species of gilled mushroom in the family Physalacriaceae. It is found in Australasia, where it grows on rotting wood. It produces fruit bodies that are white, with caps up to in diameter, attached to short, thick stems. Taxonomy and classification The species was reported as new to science by Greta Stevenson and G.M. Taylor in a 1964 publication, based on a specimen found in March, 1961. According to the 1986 arrangement of Pegler and Young, based largely on spore structure, ''Oudemansiella australis'' is classified in the section ''Oudemansiella'' of genus '' Oudemansiella'', along with the species '' O. mucida'', '' O. venesolamellata'', and '' O. canarii''. In a more recent classification proposed by Yang and colleagues, ''O. australis'' is in section ''Oudemansiella'', which contains tropical to south temperate species, such as '' O. platensis'', ''O. canarii'' and '' O. crassifolia''. These species are c ...

Gloiocephala
''Gloiocephala'' is a genus of fungi in the family Physalacriaceae. The genus is widespread, though mainly known from tropical and sub-tropical areas, and contains about 30 species. The mushrooms of this group are very small and grow on stems and leaves of monocotyledonous plants, such as sedges, usually in wet places. In most species their fruiting bodies do not develop into a typical mushroom form - the gills are often reduced to vein-like structures or completely missing, and the stipe may be asymmetrical, short or absent. There are five species A species () is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. It is the basic unit of Taxonomy (biology), ... which grow in Europe: ''G. caricis'', ''G. cerkesii'', ''G. cornelii'', ''G. menieri'' and ''G. pseudocaricis''.
