Four new genera encompassing six new species are described in the Lyophyllaceae ( Agaricales ): the monotypic Australocybe from Australia; the monotypic Phaeotephrocybe from Belize; the monotypic Nigrocarnea from Laos containing the novel conidia-producing species N. radicata and Praearthromyces containing two Asian taxa, the conidia-producing P . corneri known from Malaysia and Singapore and P . griseus from Thailand, which lacks conidial production. In addition, we describe Arthromyces glabriceps , which is the first species in the genus Arthromyces that lacks conidial production on the basidiome. Alternative options for a classification of these lyophylloid taxa are discussed and based on morphological, ecological and biogeographical considerations rejected.
