The Marasmiaceae are a family of fungi in the order Agaricales. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are most frequently agarics (gilled mushrooms), but occasionally cyphelloid (in the genus Cellypha). According to a 2008 estimate, the family contained 54 genera and 1590 species,[1] but recent molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has led to a more restricted family concept[2][3] so that the Marasmiaceae now includes just 13 genera[4] and some 1205 species.[5]
