The phylogenetic position and family classification of the genera targeted here, <i>Ceratellopsis</i>, <i>Macrotyphula</i>, <i>Pterula sensu lato</i> and <i>Typhula</i>, are controversial and based on unresolved phylogenies. Our six-gene phylogeny with an expanded taxon sampling shows that typhuloid fungi evolved at least twice in the <i>Agaricales</i> (<i>Pleurotineae</i>, <i>Clavariineae</i>) and once in the <i>Hymenochaetales</i>. <i>Macrotyphula</i>, <i>Pterulicium</i> and <i>Typhula</i> are nested within the <i>Pleurotineae</i>. The type of <i>Typhula</i> (1818) and <i>Sclerotium</i> (1790), <i>T. phacorrhiza</i> and <i>S. complanatum</i> (synonym <i>T. phacorrhiza</i>), are encompassed in the <i>MacrStudies in mycology155-184https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC7388190biostudies-literaturePhylogenetic origins and family classification of typhuloid fungi, with emphasis on <i>Ceratellopsis</i>, <i>Macrotyphula</i> and <i>Typhula</i> (<i>Basidiomycota</i>).PMC7388190Petersen JHHansen KOlariaga IHuhtinen SLæssoe TfalsePhylogenetic origins and family classification of typhuloid fungi, with emphasis on <i>Ceratellopsis</i>, <i>Macrotyphula</i> and <i>Typhula</i> (<i>Basidiomycota</i>).Typhuloid fungi are a very poorly known group of tiny clavarioid homobasidiomycetes.
