The Physalacriaceae are a
fungi in the order Agaricales. Species in the family have a widespread distribution, ranging from the Arctic, (Rhizomarasmius), to the tropics, e.g. Gloiocephala, and from marine sites (Mycaureola) and fresh waters (Gloiocephala) to semiarid forests (Xerula
).
Description
Most species in the Physalacriaceae form
Guyanagaster necrorhiza).[2]
Taxonomy
The family was originally defined by English mycologist
E.J.H. Corner in 1970[3] and revised in 1985 by Jacques Berthier[4] but neither author anticipated the application to a molecularly defined group of agarics first identified by Moncalvo and others in 2002.[5] Molecular studies placed Physalacria, formerly the sole genus in this family, together with the agaric genera Flammulina and Xerula and Armillaria. Due to the precedence rules based on date of publication, the family name "Physalacriaceae" became applicable for all these fungi, making the former family "Xerulaceae" obsolete.[5][6][7][8]
