Niskanen et al. Agaricineae data files

Genomic-level data have enabled us to create better resolved phylogenies and revolutionized our views on fungal relationships. <i>Agaricineae</i> is the largest suborder of <i>Agaricales</i> and mainly comprises the brown- and dark-spored <i>Agaricales</i> with thick-walled and pigmented basidiospores. Our study is the most extensive phylogenomic study of the suborder <i>Agaricineae</i> to date including 54 genera and 86 species. For 21 of them shallow whole genome sequence data were produced in this study from dried fungarium specimens. A total of 24 families is recognized including five that are proposed as new: <i>Agrocybaceae</i>, <i>Galerinaceae</i>, <i>Hemipholiotaceae</i>, <i>Kuehneromycetaceae</i>, and <i>Phaeocollybiaceae</i>. In addition, <i>Battarreaceae</i> is accepted at family level based on previous phylogenetic studies bringing the total number of accepted families in the suborder <i>Agaricineae </i>to 25. The families are further grouped into eight informal “superfamilies”: Agaricacea, Bolbitiacea, Cortinariacea, Galeropsidacea, Inocybacea, Nidulariacea, Psathyrellacea and Strophariacea. Several families have been emended based on the current study and recent phylogenetic studies and as a result, a total of 184 genera is listed as accepted in suborder <i>Agaricineae</i>. Based on our analysis, most of the families are estimated to have originated and/or diversified in the mid to late Cretaceous or early Paleogene.
