The Lyophyllaceae is a family of fungi in the order Agaricales. A 2008 estimate indicated eight genera and 157 species;[1] as of November 2014, the Catalog of Life lists 13 genera in the family.[2] Lyophyllaceae was circumscribed by mycologist Walter Jülich in 1981.[3]

Some species are popular as edible fungi, such as the brown beech mushroom Hypsizygus tessellatus and Lyophyllum shimeji.
