From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 600 genera and over 25,000 species.[1] Molecular phylogenetics analyses of ribosomal DNA sequences have led to advances in our understanding of the Agaricales, and substantially revised earlier assessments of families and genera.[2] The following families are in the Agaricales, according to Kalichman, Kirk & Matheny (2020),[3] with more recent additions and amendments, as noted. The number of genera and species in each family is taken from Catalogue of Life (2023),[1] unless otherwise noted, and is subject to change as new research is published. Many genera are not as yet assigned to a family.

Notes

  1. [N 1]
    Kalichman (2022) accepts 18 genera in Agaricaceae sensu stricto, placing many other genera in the Battarreaceae, Coprinaceae, and Verrucosporaceae.
  2. [N 2]
    Kalichman (2022) considers Phelloriniaceae to be a later synonym of Battarreaceae with eight genera.
  3. [N 3]
    Initially published by Ulbrich in 1951, but this was invalid.
  4. [N 4]
    The paper states that "six genera" comprise the Pterulaceae, but lists seven.
  5. [N 5]
    Kalichman et al. (2020) accept ten genera in Tricholomataceae sensu stricto, but many additional genera await research.
