abstract = {A molecular multigene analysis (ITS, 18S
and 28S nrLSU ribosomal DNA, tef1, rpb2) was used
to support the proposition of three new genera of
clitocyboid fungi. Leucocybe is proposed to accommodate
the clade formed by Clitocybe connata and C.
candicans. Clitocybe inornata is invested as type species
of Atractosporocybe, while the new genus Rhizocybe is
proposed for the former species of the section Vernae
of Clitocybe, C. vermicularis, C. pruinosa and C.
rhizoides. The three lineages are related to the
families Lyophyllaceae and Entolomataceae, and
independent from the Clitocybeae clade. Morphologically,
Rhizocybe is characterized by the presence of
conspicuous rhizomorphs, while Atractosporocybe presents
long fusiform spores. Leucocybe includes two
whitish species in the former section Candicantes of
Clitocybe, but no relevant shared characteristic feature
was detected. Other whitish clitocyboid species such
as C. phyllophila (5 C. cerussata), C. dealbata, C.
rivulosa, and Singerocybe hydrogramma, are shown to
be genetically related to the core lineage of the
Clitocybeae.}
