Hodophilus is a genus of agarics (gilled fungi) in the family Clavariaceae. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are dull-coloured and have dry caps, rather distant, decurrent lamellae, white spores, and smooth, ringless stems. In Europe species are characteristic of old, unimproved grasslands (termed waxcap grasslands) which are a declining habitat, making them of conservation concern. Several species have a distinct odour of naphthalene.
Taxonomy
History
Hodophilus was described by French mycologist Roger Heim in 1957, but this was invalid because he did not include a Latin diagnosis for the genus, as was required by the rules of nomenclature at the time. The name Hodophilus was later (1958) validly published, but it was generally regarded as synonymous with the genus Camarophyllopsis.
Current status
Recent molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, indicates that Hodophilus is monophyletic and forms a natural group distinct from Camarophyllopsis.
