This is a list of Psathyrella species. Many of its members were formerly classified in the genera Hypholoma , Psilocybe , and Stropharia . Also some well-known species have been moved to new genera, for instance Psathyrellaspadicea is now Homophron spadiceum . Lacrymaria lacrymabunda has often been classified as a Psathyrella. According to one 2008 estimate, the genus contains about 400 species. [1]
In 2020 many members of the family Psathyrellaceae were reclassified by the German mycologists Dieter Wächter & Andreas Melzer based on phylogenetic analysis. [2] This study created the new genera Britzelmayria, Candolleomyces and Olotia and placed numerous former Psathyrella species within them. Notable changes include Psathyrella candolleana being reclassified as Candolleomyces candolleanus and Psathyrella multipedata being reclassified as Britzelmayria multipedata.
As of July 2022 [update] , Species Fungorum accepted 660 species of Psathyrella. With classification work ongoing this list is likely to be subject to regular alterations. [3]
Coprinellus is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Psathyrellaceae. The genus was circumscribed by the Finnish mycologist Petter Adolf Karsten in 1879. Most Coprinellus species were transferred from the once large genus Coprinus. Molecular studies published in 2001 redistributed Coprinus species to Psathyrella, or the segregate genera Coprinopsis and Coprinellus.
Lacrymaria is a genus of fungi in the family Psathyrellaceae. A 2008 estimate placed 14 species in the widespread genus.
Cystolepiota is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Agaricaceae.
Tubaria is a genus of fungi in the family Tubariaceae. The genus is widely distributed, especially in temperate regions. Tubaria was originally named as a subgenus of Agaricus by Worthington George Smith in 1870. Claude Casimir Gillet promoted it to generic status in 1876. The mushrooms produced by species in this genus are small- to medium-sized with caps ranging in color from pale pinkish-brown to reddish-brown, and often with remnants of the partial veil adhering to the margin. Mushrooms fruit on rotting wood, or, less frequently, in the soil. There are no species in the genus that are recommended for consumption.
Cystoagaricus is a genus of fungi in the family Psathyrellaceae. The genus contains four species found in subtropical America. The genus was circumscribed by mycologist Rolf Singer in 1947, with Cystoagaricus strobilomyces as the type species.
