Gyrodon
Gyrodon lividus
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Fungi
Division: Basidiomycota
Class: Agaricomycetes
Order: Boletales
Family: Paxillaceae
Genus: Gyrodon
Opat. (1836)
Type species
Gyrodon sistotremoides
Opat. (1836)
Synonyms[1]

Gyrodon is a genus of pored mushroom bearing close affinity to the genus Paxillus. Recent molecular research has confirmed this relationship of the two genera as sister taxa, together diverging as one of the most basal lineages in the Boletineae, and sister to the Boletaceae.[3][4]

Gyrodon was circumscribed by German botanist Wilhelm Opatowski in 1836.[5]

Species

As of September 2015, Index Fungorum lists 13 species of Gyrodon.[6]
