Lyophyllum konradianum

Lyophyllum konradium is a species of mushroom-forming fungus in the family Lyophyllaceae.

[1] Lyophyllum konradium is distinguished from other members of Lyophyllum by the presence of well-differentiated hymenial cystidia.

[2][3] While the species has been treated as a member of the polyphyletic genus Lyophyllum, molecular phylogenies have placed L. konradium in a distant clade from other members of the genus.

[2] This phylogenetic isolation has led some authors to recommend the creation of a new genus, which would include L. konradium and three additional unidentified species that placed near L. konradium in the most recent phylogenetic analysis by Bellanger et al.
