Hygrophoropsis Leucogyrophana The Hygrophoropsidaceae are a family of mushrooms that are gilled in appearance but lie within the Boletales.

The family contains 18 species within two genera:[1] Leucogyrophana and Hygrophoropsis, with the best-known member being the "false chanterelle", Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca.

Hygrophoropsidaceae was circumscribed by French mycologist Robert Kühner in 1980, with Hygrophoropsis as the type genus.

[2] Unlike most members of the Boletales, Hygrophoropsidaceae species are saprophytic wood-rotting fungi that cause brown rot in their hosts.

[3] The genera Austropaxillus and Tapinella, once placed in this family,[4] are now classified in the Serpulaceae[5] and Tapinellaceae,[6] respectively.
