Molecular phylogenies using 1–4 gene regions and information on ecology, morphology and pigment chemistry were used in a partial revision of the agaric family Hygro- phoraceae, retaining in the Hygrophoraceae the basal cuphophylloid grade comprising the genera Cuphophylla, Ampulloclitocybe and Cantharocybe, despite weak phylogenetic support.
