List of Agaricales families

The Agaricales are an order of fungi in the class Agaricomycetes (division Basidiomycota). It is the largest group of mushroom-forming fungi, and includes more than 400 genera and over 13,000 species.^[1] Molecular phylogenetics analyses of ribosomal DNA sequences has led to advances in our understanding of the Agaricales, and substantially revised previous assessments of families and genera.^[2] The following families are in the Agaricales, according to the 10th edition of the Dictionary of the Fungi (2008)^[1] with some additions.

Notes

1. Kirk & al. give the number as 17, but only 15 actual genera are unequivocally listed as members in their entries.
2. The entry for the family in Kirk et al. (2008) gives (without listing them) 12 genera, but thirteen are listed as members in their separate entries.
3. Although the entry for the family in Kirk & al. (2008:237) gives the number as 4, the only genera placed there appears to be Entoloma and Clitopilus; this list follows Co-David et al. (Persoonia 23:147–176, 2009) in recognizing three genera.
4. Kirk et al. gives nine genera, but ten are placed in the family in their individual entries, this is amended to are add three more, while two are removed following Matheny et al. (2006), and Seitzman et al. (2011, Mycologia, 103(2):280-290).
5. Kirk et al. (2008:395) give the number as eight, but nine genera are actually listed.
6. Kirk et al. (2008:446) do not count Protomycena as a member of the family.
7. The genera of the family require redefinition (Kirk et al., 2008:565). Although Kirk et al. give their number as 12, only 10 appear to be formally placed there, 11 if the anamorphic Hormographiella is counted.
