The Bolbitiaceae are a family of mushroom-forming basidiomycete fungi. A 2008 estimate placed 17 genera and 171 species in the family. Bolbitiaceae was circumscribed by mycologist Rolf Singer in 1948.
This family is of mushroom-forming species that have a hymenium on gills, brown spores and a hymenoderm pileipellis.
Bolbitius are mushrooms which are thin, Mycena-like, with gelatinous cap surface. These lack a veil, are saprotrophic, and tend to be found with grass.
