Type species
Cantharellus prescottii Weinm.

Cantharellopsis is a tan- to whitish-colored bryophilous monotypic genus in the Agaricales. The fruit bodies of the single species Cantharellus prescottii has a form intermediate between an Omphalina and a chanterelle (Cantharellus) because of its forked, fold-like gills.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] It inhabits moss on calcareous soils in temperate regions of Europe.^[5] Phylogenetically related agarics are in the genera Contumyces, Gyroflexus, Loreleia, Rickenella and Blasiphalia, as well as the stipitate-stereoid genera Muscinupta and Cotylidia^[6] and the clavarioid genus, Alloclavaria.^[4]

Etymology

Cantharellopsis is named in reference to its vague similarity to the genus Cantharellus and means, Cantharellus-like.
