Taxonomy
Tricholomataceae was oiginally a classic wastebasket taxon, including any white, yellow, or pink spored genera in the Agaricales not already classified as belonging to Amanitaceae, Lepiotaceae, Hygrophoraceae, Pluteaceae, or Entolomataceae.
Tricholomataceae have been validated by evidence coming from molecular phylogenetics. Families segregated from the Tricholomataceae include the Hydnangiaceae, Lyophyllaceae, Marasmiaceae, Mycenaceae, Omphalotaceae, Physalacriaceae, and Pleurotaceae.
In 2014 a study recovers seven monophyletic genera within the Tricholomataceae; Leucopaxillus, Tricholoma, Pseudotricholoma, Porpoloma, Dennisiomyces, Corneriella and Albomagister.
Ecology: some species of fungus-growing ants in the genus Apterostigma cultivate species of Tricholomataceae.
