AGARICALES: hymenophore either lamellate or porose; if porose, the tubes are easily removed from the pileus; basidiocarp fleshy, typically monomitic, rarely dimitic. In the modern sense, the boletes are placed in their own order, the Boletales.

Families: Agaricaceae, Amanitaceae, Bolbitiaceae, Boletaceae, Coprinaceae, Cortinariaceae, Entolomataceae, Gomphidiaceae, Hygrophoraceae, Lepiotaceae, Paxillaceae, Pluteaceae, Russulaceae, Strophariaceae, Tricholomataceae

Amanitaceae: basidiospores white; gills free or finely attached; gill trama divergent.

Observe the basidiocarps and note the nearly free gill attachment and presence of veils leaving an annulus (remnant of the partial veil) and a volva and/or patches (remnants of the universal veil).
