 Hygrophoraceae

The Hygrophoraceae are a family of fungi in the order Agaricales.Originally conceived as containing white-spored, thick-gilled agarics (gilled mushrooms), including "Hygrophorus" and "Hygrocybe" species (the waxcaps or waxy caps), DNA evidence has extended the limits of the family, so it now contains not only agarics, but also basidiolichens and corticioid fungi.
