Flammula is a dark brown-spored genus of mushrooms that cause a decay of trees and often fruit at their bases forming clusters of yellowish brown mushrooms.

Taxonomy

Flammula malicola, Meander Forest Reserve, Tasmania, Australia

For nearly a century, Flammula was considered to be a synonym of Pholiota, a mushroom genus in the Strophariaceae. Molecular analysis placed it outside of the Strophariaceae[1][2][3] and specifically in the Hymenogastraceae[4] As a distinct genus, the name Flammula is currently used.[5]
