MycologyTaxonomyTricholomataceae 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. Porpoloma is highly polyphyletic, distributed in four genera of
Tricholomataceae
