Tricholomatineae Aime, Dentinger & Gaya subord. nov.

Name registration: IF551139

Type family: Tricholomataceae R. Heim ex Pouzar, Ceska Mykol. 37: 175 (1983).

Basidiomata predominantly agaricoid, often robust in stature. Hyphae monomitic; clamp connections present or absent; pigments often encrusting. Basidia mostly four spored; basidiospores hyaline or with pink pigmentation and then often angular in at least one plane. Spores smooth or verrucose, amyloid or inamyloid, thin-walled. Pileipellis typically a cutis or trichoderm.

Representative families: Entolomataceae Kotl. & Pouzar , Lyophyllaceae J ulich €, Macrocystidiaceae K uhner €, Tricholomataceae .

Notes: Tricholomatineae contains fungi with a wide array of ecological roles, including several ectomycorrhizal lineages, necrotrophism ( Collybia ), and fungal and animal symbionts such as mycoparasites ( Entoloma ), and the obligate termite symbiont genus Termitomyces . This suborder corresponds well to the Tricholomatoid clade of Matheny et al. (2006), except for the exclusion of Mycenaceae and inclusion of C. gibba , and the Tricholomatoid clade of Binder et al. (2010). At least 30 genera can be assigned to this suborder following a recent revision of the Tricholomataceae ( Sanchez-Garcıa et al., 2014) .
