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

Pluteaceae: basidiospores flesh brown to salmon color and not angular in any view; gill trama convergent (the hyphae converge towards the center of the trama); gills free

• MIDDLE: the convergent gill trama (Volvariella sp.)
