Cyclocybe
3 species
A genus of brown-spored, ringed agarics revived by Vizzini, Angelini & Ercole (2014), after ITS and LSU sequence data showed that Agrocybe is polyphyletic. It includes C. erebia and the C. cylindracea/aegerita complex (the cultivated poplar mushroom, pioppino).
Fruitbodies: small to medium, saprobic, often clustered. Cap: brown to whitish. Gills: adnate to slightly decurrent, brown at maturity. Stem: central, with a membranous partial veil that usually leaves a ring. Spore print: brown to dark brown. Spores: smooth, ellipsoid.
