Taxonomy

History

Camarophyllopsis was circumscribed by Czech mycologist Josef Herink in 1958, with Camarophyllopsis schulzeri as the type and only species. Roger Heim had the year previously treated this group of species under the name Hodophilus, but this was invalid because he did not include a Latin diagnosis for the genus, as was required by the rules of nomenclature at the time. Rolf Singer published Hygrotrama in March 1959 (with type species Hygrotrama dennisianum), and the name Hodophilus (type species Hodophilus foetens) was validly published in 1958.

Current status

Previously placed in the family Hygrophoraceae based on its morphology, Camarophyllopsis was shown using molecular phylogenetics to belong in the Clavariaceae. Subsequent research has also shown that the genus Hodophilus is distinct and separate from Camarophyllopsis.
