M. He & Zhu L. Yang subf. nov. Diagnosis. Characterized generally by clitocyboid basidiomes, convex to funnel-shaped pileus, decurrent lamellae, absence of veils, inamyloid basidiospores and presence of clamps. Etymology. From the type genus Cuphophyllus . Type genus. Cuphophyllus (Donk) Bon. Description. Basidiomes small, medium-sized to large, mostly clitocyboid, rarely omphalinoid or mycenoid; veils absent. Pileus convex, applanate to funnel-shaped; surface usually dry, smooth, lubricous or rarely viscid. Lamellae decurrent to deeply decurrent. Basidiospores ellipsoid, oblong or subglobose, thin-walled and inamyloid. Pileipellis usually a cutis, sometimes ixocutis or trichoderm. Lamellar trama regular, subregular, interwoven or bidirectional. Clamp connections present. Habitat, ecology and distribution. Usually gregarious or caespitose on ground, rarely on wood; widespread in temperate and tropical regions. The genera Ampulloclitocybe , Cantharocybe , Cuphophyllus and Spodocybe are included in the subfamily Cuphophylloideae , which is in correspondence with Cuphophylloid grade of Lodge et al. (2014) plus Spodocybe .
