Camarophyllopsis

Camarophyllopsis is a genus of agarics (gilled fungi) in the family Clavariaceae. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are dull-coloured and have dry caps, rather distant, decurrent lamellae, white spores, and smooth, ringless stems. In Europe species are characteristic of old, unimproved grasslands (termed waxcap grasslands) which are a declining habitat, making them of conservation concern.

==Taxonomy== ===History=== Camarophyllopsis was circumscribed by Czech mycologist Josef Herink in 1958, with Camarophyllopsis schulzeri as the type and only species. Roger Heim had the year previously treated this group of species under the name Hodophilus, but this was invalid because he did not include a Latin diagnosis for the genus, as was required by the rules of nomenclature at the time. Rolf Singer published Hygrotrama in March 1959 (with type species Hygrotrama dennisianum), and the name Hodophilus (type species Hodophilus foetens) was validly published in 1958.
