Pronunciation: [θˈɛlɪfˌɔːɹe͡ɪsˌiː] (IPA) 
Thelephoraceae is a family of fungi that commonly grow on the forest floor in temperate and boreal regions. Some synonyms for this family include "rugosomyces," "cortinariaceae," and "cortinarion." These fungi are important for their role in the decomposition of plant material and the formation of nutrient-rich soil. They often have distinctive cap shapes and colors, making them easily recognizable to experienced mushroom hunters. As saprophytes, members of Thelephoraceae obtain their nutrients from dead plant matter rather than through photosynthesis. While not often sought after for culinary purposes, they are an essential component of healthy forest ecosystems.
