Hemistropharia
Introduction '''''Hemistropharia''''' is a genus of agarics of unclear classification, though possibly related to the Hymenogastraceae or Tubarieae. A monotypic genus, it contains the single species '''''Hemistropharia albocrenulata'''''. This species, originally named ''Agaricus albocrenulatus'' by American mycologist Charles Horton Peck in 1873, is synonymous with the names ''Pholiota albocrenulata'' (Peck) Sacc. and ''Stropharia albocrenulata'' (Peck) Kreisel, among others. The genus most closely resembles a typical ''Pholiota'' where it was previously classified and described and it causes a decay in trees as does a true ''Pholiota''. Unlike ''Pholiota'', ''Hemistropharia albocrenulata'' lacks chrysocystidia, and it has darker basidiospores.
