Agaricales . It was first described by Bresinsky in 1985 as a segregate from theTricholomataceae and validated more recently bymolecular phylogenetic analysis, which has determined that the Tricholomataceae arepolyphyletic .Some concepts restrict this taxon to "
Omphalotus " (thetype genus ) and several small genera that are closely related. Broader concepts include the lentinuloidclade (which includes "Gymnopus ", "Rhodocollybia ", "Micromphale ", and "Lentinula ", among other genera) in the Omphalotaceae.The Jack O'Lantern mushroom "(
Omphalotus olearius )" is a well-known member of this family.Shiitake is included in the more broad definition of this family.
