Cortinariaceae p.p.: Galerina, Gymnopilus, Leucocortinarius, Phaeocollybia, Phaeogalera, Phaeolepiota, Phaeomarasmius, Pleuroflammula, Rozites & Stagnicola
A group of genera from the section of Cortinariaceae with rust-coloured spore print, but excluding Cortinarius, and the genera with thin-walled spores: Tubaria and Flammulaster. Most of the genera have only one or a few species (and are rare), except Galerina and Gymnopilus whose members will be more familiar.
Keys to genera and then species within genera, with lengthy species descriptions. The work adopts a narrow species concept in Galerina and Gymnopilus.
An Ecological List of Species groups them by habitat.
