Omphalotaceae
The Marasmiaceae are a family of basidiomycete fungi which have white spores. They mostly have tough stems and the capability of shrivelling up during a dry period and later recovering. The widely consumed edible fungus ''Lentinula edodes'', the shiitake mushroom, is a member of this family. According to a 2008 estimate, the family contains 54 genera and 1590 species. The family Omphalotaceae, described by A. Bresinsky in 1985 as a segregate from the Tricholomataceae, has been considered synonymous with Marasmiaceae. However DNA analyses by Moncalvo et al. in 2002 and Matheny et al. in 2006 have now led to that family being accepted by Index Fungorum and most recent references. The following genera are included in that family : ''Anthracophyllum'', ''Gymnopus'', ''Lentinula'', ''Marasmiellus'', '' Mycetinis'', '' Rhodocollybia'', ''Omphalotus''.

Marasmiellus
''Marasmiellus'' is a genus of fungi in the family Omphalotaceae (synonym to Marasmiaceae). The widespread genus, circumscribed by American mycologist William Murrill in 1915, contains over 250 species. The name comes from the Greek '' marasmus'' meaning ''wasting''. Morphology and life cycle The morphology of ''Marasmiellus'' has received little attention compared to other genera of '' Omphalotaceae'', mainly due to their uncolorful pileus, small basidiocarps, and little variation in morphological characters. These factors complicate delimitations of species within this genus. Species of ''Marasmiellus'' have prostrate and diverticulate hyphae, which have no clear orientation. However, it has been observed that outher hyphae can aggregate in fascicles and be radially oriented. Furthermore, cheilocystidia arise from horizontal hyphae and are frequently embedded in the hymenium, often being prostrate. Some species of ''Marasmiellus'' use basidiospore germination, and distuiguis ...

Mycetinis
''Mycetinis'' is a genus of fungus in the Omphalotaceae family, containing about eight species formerly classified in ''Marasmius''. General This group of mushrooms was long known as a section (''Alliacei'') within the more familiar genus ''Marasmius'', which means that each of the species has a synonym under ''Marasmius''. They are distinguished from other ''Marasmius'' by the hymeniform cap skin which consists of smooth cells, with hyphae which do not show a dextrinoid reaction. The species have a characteristic garlic smell. DNA studies showed that the group is phylogenetically allied more to genus ''Gymnopus'' than to ''Marasmius'', but the distinct structure of the cap skin is thought to justify a separation at the genus level. Franklin Sumner Earle had already defined the genus name ''Mycetinis'' for this group in 1909, though it had not caught on, and in 2005 Wilson & Desjardin proposed to resurrect this name and redefine it for the current taxonomy. The new phylogenetic c ...

Gymnopus
''Gymnopus'' is a genus of fungus in the family Omphalotaceae. The genus has a widespread, cosmopolitan distribution and contains about 300 species. History and classification The type species for the Gymnopus, ''Gymnopus fusipes,'' dates back to 1806 Roussel.html" ;"title="Henri_François_Anne_de_Roussel.html" ;"title="Pers..html" ;"title="Pers.">Pers.) Henri François Anne de Roussel">Roussel">Henri_François_Anne_de_Roussel.html" ;"title="Pers..html" ;"title="Pers.">Pers.) Henri François Anne de Roussel">Roussel Many of the species now classified in the Gymnopus genera were once assigned to Collybia. In 1997 it was suggested that the Collybia genus be split into three genera, one of them being Gymnopus. Description In general, Gymnopus Sporocarp (fungi), fruiting bodies are found in leaf and woody litter. Typically the fruiting bodies are relatively small and range from browns to white in color. Their Spore print, spore deposit is white. Most species of gymnopus act as ...

Omphalotus
''Omphalotus'' is a genus of basidiomycete mushroom, in the family Marasmiaceae, formally circumscribed by Victor Fayod in 1889. Members have the traditional cap and stem structure. They are saprobic, and fruit in clumps on the ground, adjacent to host trees. The best known and type species is the jack-o'-lantern mushroom ''(Omphalotus olearius)''. Species of ''Omphalotus'' have been mistaken for chanterelles. All ''Omphalotus'' species are presumed poisonous, causing gastrointestinal symptoms. Some ''Omphalotus'' species have bioluminescent properties. Taxonomy Victor Fayod originally erected the genus with '' Pleurotus olearius'' and '' P. eryngii'' as its principal species in 1889, placing it in a ''tribus'' ("alliance") with the genera '' Pleurotus'' and '' Pleurotellus''. The relationships of the genus have become clearer with genetic analysis. Rolf Singer placed it and the related ''Lampteromyces'' in the Boletales due to the presence of the pigment variegatic a ...

Rhodocollybia
''Rhodocollybia'' is a genus of Basidiomycete mushroom. Species in this genus, formerly classified as a subgenus in ''Collybia'', have fairly large caps (typically larger than broad), and have a pinkish-tinted spore print. Microscopically, they are characterized by having spores and basidia that are dextrinoid—staining deep reddish to reddish-brown with Melzer's reagent when tested for amyloidity. ''Rhodocollybia'' species are commonly found in temperate North America and Europe, and infrequently in Central and South America. Taxonomy The genus name ''Rhodocollybia'' was first used by Rolf Singer in 1939 to describe those species of ''Collybia'' with a pink spore deposit; in later works he considered the genera equivalent (synonymous) and called them ''Collybia''. In 1997, Antonín and Noordeloos studied various members of ''Collybia'' using phylogenetic analysis, and reorganized the genus, dividing species into either ''Collybia'', ''Gymnopus'', or ''Rhodocollybia''. D ...

Tricholomataceae
The Tricholomataceae are a large family of mushrooms within the Agaricales. Originally a classic "wastebasket taxon", the family included any white-, yellow-, or pink-spored genera in the Agaricales not already classified as belonging to e.g. the Amanitaceae, Lepiotaceae, Hygrophoraceae, Pluteaceae, or Entolomataceae. The name derives from the Greek ''trichos'' (τριχος) meaning hair and ''loma'' (λωμα) meaning fringe or border, although not all members display this feature. The name "Tricholomataceae" is seen as having validity in describing ''Tricholoma'' and its close relatives, and whatever other genera can at some future point be described as part of a monophyletic family including ''Tricholoma''. To that end, the International Botanical Congress has voted on two occasions (1988 and 2006) to conserve the name "Tricholomataceae" against competing names. This decision does not invalidate the use of segregate families from the Tricholomataceae, but simply validates th ...

Marasmius Rotula
''Marasmius rotula'' is a common species of agaric fungus in the family Marasmiaceae. Widespread in the Northern Hemisphere, it is commonly known variously as the pinwheel mushroom, the pinwheel marasmius, the little wheel, the collared parachute, or the horse hair fungus. The type species of the genus ''Marasmius'', ''M. rotula'' was first described scientifically in 1772 by mycologist Giovanni Antonio Scopoli and assigned its current name in 1838 by Elias Fries. The fruit bodies, or mushrooms, of ''M. rotula'' are characterized by their whitish, thin, and membranous caps up to wide that are sunken in the center, and pleated with scalloped margins. The slender and wiry black hollow stems measure up to long by thick. On the underside of the caps are widely spaced white gills that are attached to a collar encircling the stem. The mushrooms grow in groups or clusters on decaying wood such as fallen twigs and sticks, moss-covered logs, and stumps. Unlike other ...

Baeospora
''Baeospora'' is a genus of mushroom-producing fungi. It is variously classified in the families Tricholomataceae or Marasmiaceae, though as of 2007, these groups are undergoing revision. It has been found to fall into the "hydropoid clade" ('' Hydropus'' and allies), though no formal Linnaean taxon has been designated based on this classification. The genus was circumscribed by mycologist Rolf Singer in 1938. The most recently described species, '' B. occidentalis'', is a snowbank fungus that was discovered in montane coniferous forests of the western USA. Species See also *List of Marasmiaceae genera The Marasmiaceae are a family of fungi in the order Agaricales. It includes over 50 genera and some 1590 species.
