Five tribus names to be used in the Tricholomataceae sensu lato are introduced or validated, viz. Biannularieae, Laccarieae, Lyophylleae, Macrocystidieae, and Xeruleae. It is demonstrated that Fayod’s tribus names are to be considered validly published and that tribus Hygrophoreae Kühner is a later homonym and synonym of tribus Hygrophoreae P. Henn.
