The Mythicomycetaceae is a family of dark-spored agarics that have palely pigmented spores which lack germ pores.[1] The two genera are monotypic and share features such as horn-like dark stems, pigmented mycelium at their bases, and are small brown mushrooms in north temperate forests. The family is closely related to the Psathyrellaceae.
