List of Entolomataceae genera

The mushroom genera in the family Entolomataceae collectively contain over 1500 species, the large majority of which are in Entoloma.[1][2] There have been many different classifications of this group, and so the table below includes not only genera which are supposedly current, but also other proposed genera whose names have been important. For instance several taxa such as Leptonia and Nolanea were defined as independent genera, and are still sometimes used as such, but in recent classifications they have been demoted to being subgenera of Entoloma.

The current view is that Entolomataceae with angular (polyhedral) spores should be classified in genus Entoloma, those with bumpy spores should be in Rhodocybe, and those with longitudinally ridged spores should be put in Clitopilus. This makes Entoloma an enormous genus, and it is not surprising that attempts have been made to split it up.[2][3]

The photos sometimes show the type species of the group in question, or otherwise another typical species. Hold the cursor over a photo for more information.

Genus, author & date Current status Further details
Alboleptonia Largent & R.G. Benedict (1970)[4] Transferred to Entoloma[5] Sometimes regarded as a subgenus of Entoloma.[6] Contains about 6 species, including E. sericellum.
Claudopus Gillet (1876)[4] Transferred to Entoloma[5] This old genus contained about 9 species which are now classified in the Entolomataceae (all Entoloma). Sometimes regarded as a subgenus of Entoloma.[6]
Clitopilopsis Maire (1937)[4] Part of Rhodocybe[5] After having invented genus Rhodocybe, Maire tried to make a new genus for these 5 species (which have also been classified in Clitopilus) but they are currently in Rhodocybe.  
Clitopilus (Fr. ex Rabenh.) P. Kumm. (1871) Currently valid [5] Should contain all species with longitudinally ridged spores. It is further suggested that all the Rhodocybe species should be moved into this genus.[2] The best-known current member is probably Clitopilus prunulus (the Miller).
Eccilia (Fr.) P. Kumm. (1871)[4] Transferred to Entoloma (except E. haeusleriana)[5] May be considered a subgenus of Entoloma. These mushrooms have decurrent gills and have an omphalinoid or pleurotoid form. Contains almost the same species as Claudopus.[7][8]
Entoloma (Fr.) P. Kumm. (1871) Currently valid[5] According to current definition, contains all species with angular spores.
Inocephalus (Noordel.) P.D. Orton (1991)[4] Transferred to Entoloma[5] 2 species [6]  
Leptonia (Fr.) P. Kumm. (1871) Transferred to Entoloma[5] May be considered a subgenus of Entoloma. These mushrooms are collybioid and often have a navel-like depression in the centre of the cap.[7]
Nolanea (Fr.) P. Kumm. (1871) Transferred to Entoloma[5] May be considered a subgenus of Entoloma. Thin-fleshed species, often conical or campanulate, with gills often almost free from the stem.[7]
Paraeccilia Largent (1994) Part of Entoloma[5] This genus proposed in 1994 contained 3 species.  
Pouzarella Mazzer (1976) Part of Entoloma[5] May be considered a subgenus of Entoloma, with about 10 species. These fungi have campanulate caps and dark gills, and have a fibrous stipe with coarse hairs at the base.[6][9]  
Pouzaromyces Pilát (1953) Part of Entoloma[5] May be considered a subgenus of Entoloma, with about 9 species. There is overlap between this subgenus and Pouzarella (e.g. E. versatile). It is similar to Nolanea, but the cap is woolly/fibrous.[7]  
Rhodocybe Maire (1925) Currently valid[5] According to current definition, contains all species with bumpy spores. New evidence shows that this genus should be merged into Clitopilus, the name of which takes historical priority.[2]
Rhodocybella T.J. Baroni & R.H. Petersen (1987) Currently valid[5] Contains just one cyphelloid species, R. rhododendri.[10][11] Not to be confused with Rhodocyphella, which belongs to the Tricholomataceae.  
Rhodogaster E. Horak (1964) Currently valid[5] Contains 2 gasteroid species. It is proposed that these species should be integrated into Entoloma.[2]  
Rhodophyllus Quél. (1886) Obsolete synonym of Entoloma[5] This name was used by the influential French mycologists Kühner and Romagnesi.[12]  
Richoniella Costantin & L.M. Dufour (1916) Currently valid[5] Contains 5 gasteroid species. In spite of not having an agaric body plan, it is proposed that this genus should be integrated into Entoloma.[2]
