Fungi of the genus "Hypholoma" are quite well-known due to the commonness of Sulphur Tuft ("Hypholoma fasciculare") on stumps in temperate woodlands. This species is easily recognizable because the dark spores create a distinctive greenish effect on the yellow cap underside. Other well-known species are "H. capnoides" and "H. sublateritium".

Synonyms

Sometimes "Hypholoma" has not been considered a genus in its own right, but it has been grouped together with "Stropharia" and "Psilocybe" under the name of "Geophila", "Naematoloma", or "Nematoloma". The spelling "Naematoloma" does not appear in [http://www.indexfungorum.org Index Fungorum] .

General characteristics

* The fruiting bodies mostly have a central stipe. Some are medium-sized and there are also smaller species. The caps range in colour from yellow/brown to brick red.
* The spore colour is dark brown to black.
* The developing mushroom is enveloped in a veil, but in "Hypholoma" this can be seen only in very young examples. This means that there is no well-defined ring, and nor are there distinctive flakes on the cap, but there may be cottony ring zones on the stipe, sometimes coloured by the dark spores.
* The genus is widespread throughout the world and its best known representatives grow on dead wood, whilst some others grow in moss, sometimes on moors.
