see text Hodophilus 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.

[1][2] Hodophilus was described by French mycologist Roger Heim in 1957,[3] 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.

[4] The name Hodophilus was later (1958) validly published, but it was generally regarded as synonymous with the genus Camarophyllopsis.

[4] Recent molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, indicates that Hodophilus is monophyletic and forms a natural group distinct from Camarophyllopsis.
