Hymenogaster
Genus of fungi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hymenogaster is a genus of fungi in the family Hymenogastraceae (Agaricales). The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in temperate regions, and contains about 100 species.[1] The taxonomy of the European species was revised in 2011, and twelve species were recognized, for which an identification key was presented.[2] In 2024, seven species were described from China.[3][4]

Taxonomy
Hymenogaster (Hymenogastraceae, Agaricales) was established by Italian mycologist Carlo Vittadini in 1831, based on eight species found in Europe.[5] It is one of the most species-rich genera of false truffles. Hymenogaster citrinus is the type species.[4]
