Albatrellaceae Amylostereaceae Auriscalpiaceae Bondarzewiaceae Echinodontiaceae Hericiaceae Hybogasteraceae Lachnocladiaceae Peniophoraceae Russulaceae Gloeocystidiellaceae Stereaceae The Russulales are an order of the Agaricomycetes, (which include the agaric genera Russula and Lactarius and their polyporoid and corticioid relatives).
According to the Dictionary of the Fungi (10th edition, 2008), the order consists of 12 families, 80 genera, and 1767 species.
[4] Basidiospores in this group are typically ornamented with amyloid warts or reticulation but a few exceptions are known, e.g. Heterobasidion annosum.
The genus Clavicorona was often treated in the Russulales, but its type species, C. taxophila, is in the Agaricales.
The remaining species are retained in the Russulales in the genus Artomyces.
