Gomphales are an order of basidiomycete fungi [Hibbett, David S. 2007. Agaricomycetes. Mushroom-Forming Fungi. Version 20 April 2007. http://tolweb.org/Agaricomycetes/20535/2007.04.20 in The Tree of Life Web Project, http://tolweb.org/] [Hibbett et al, A higher-level phylogenetic classification of the Fungi.Mycological Research (vol. 111, p. 509-547)] [ Mycobank http://www.mycobank.org/MycoTaxo.aspx?Link=T&Rec=90552] . Some or all families belonging to Gomphales are sometimes included in the order Phallales (and "vice versa" - [ [http://nzfungi.landcareresearch.co.nz/html/data.asp?ID=&NAMEPKey=26767 New Zealand Fungi - Phallaceae ] ] they are also sometimes treated as synonyms) [ITIS database [http://www.catalogueoflife.org/dynamic-checklist/browse_taxa.php?hub=GlobalHub&selected_taxon=Fu-Basidiomycota-Basidiomycetes-Phallales&path=%2CFu%25Sp2000Hierarchy%2CFu-Basidiomycota%25Sp2000Hierarchy%2CFu-Basidiomycota-Basidiomycetes%25Sp2000Hierarchy%2CFu-Basidiomycota-Basidiomycetes-Phallales%25Sp2000Hierarchy] ] ,the Ramariaceae was also previously included in Cantharellales. Recent phylogenetic analyses include in Gomphales the families of the original description of the order by W.Jülich, with addition of Clavariadelphaceae and Gautieriaceae [K.Hosaka et al. Molecular phylogenetics of the gomphoid-phalloid fungi with an establishment of the new subclass Phallomycetidae and two new orders. Mycologia, 98(6), 2006, pp. 949-959] .
