About

The Lyophyllaceae is a family of fungi in the order Agaricales. A 2008 estimate indicated eight genera and 157 species; as of November 2014, the Catalog of Life lists 13 genera in the family. The taxon was originally circumscribed in 1938 by mycologist Robert Kühner as the tribe Lyophylleae, but raised to the taxonomic rank of family and renamed the Lyophyllaceae by Walter Jülich in 1981.
