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
Cortinariaceae: basidiospores rust brown to earth brown and without a germ pore; hymenophore not removeable from the pileus; pileus cuticle a cutis (the hyphae more or less parallel to the surface and not cellular in appearance)
Inocybe Left: whitish margin
on gill edge due to cheilocystia; pruinose stipe apex due to caulocystidia.
Right: fibrillose pileal surface of Inocybe sororia.
sterile cells (cystidia) located on the gill edge and gill face.
Left: crystallate metuloid (cheilocystidia); Right: metuloid (or
right); tuberculate spores (to the left)
Hebeloma
and the cortina in
Cortinarius.
